Female mallard at rest in West Park. Most of the bird’s plumage is pale: perhaps the feathers lack one of the pigments which usually give darker colours.

Cones just beginning to develop on one of the conifers in West Park, green nearer their stems and a purple colour towards the tips.

Two trios of mallards, asleep not far from West Park’s boating lake recenty. The groups were on different sides of the path around the lake, with only ten or so yards separating them.

Wallflowers flowering from the stonework of the precariously leaning remaining walls of Bridgnorth Castle recently.

Some of the lupins in flower in the gardens of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust property, New Place, in Stratford on Avon.

One of the West Park magpies, by the edge of the boating lake after taking a drink of the water, then on the fence at the edge of the lake.
