Common buzzard perching on one of the trees on island in the West Park lake recently, alert and perhaps keeping an eye out for prey.

Two dark-plumaged muscovy ducks seen recently by the side of the lake in West Park. They were in the company of the long time resident female, the survivor of what was once a pair.

Patches of white fungus on fallen wood near the former Tettenhall Station (now Cupcake Junction tea rooms) on the Railway Walk at Newbridge.

Collared earth star fungi growing by the roadside near the Royal tram stop on the Bilston Road. Possilby brought in on the mulch spread under the bushes.

Tufted duck drakes on the West Park boating lake, showing the tufts on their heads which give them their name.

The first snowdrops I managed to spot this year, the flower buds about to open. These were in Bantock Park last week.
