Wildlife from Wolverhampton and nearby
A heavy frost on the grass around the medieval packhorse bridge just outside Hampton in Arden.
A view looking down at the river Blythe from the bridge.
This pool is just yards away from the bridge, and was frozen when pictured.
The nearby railway bridge over the river: views with the packhorse bridge (above) and from the packhorse bridge (below).
Views of Tettenhall ridge from the barley field in the Smestow Valley LNR.
Another go at filming a video of the customers at the bird table. The two robins which share the table early on must be a pair. They are probably also the birds which show themselves again towards the end.
This was the view when I turned my back on the flock of geese which was featured a few days ago.
At this time of year, even a wood of evergreen trees looks bare.
Video of robins, blue tits, long-tailed tits and a great tit, bullfinches and a green finch feeding on a bird table. The squirrel also puts in a flying visit.
Even if I had been inclined to cough up the £4 entrance fee, Wenlock Priory was closed the day I visited the town. So this view of one section of the ruins is taken from the lane near the car park.
This tiny fern was growing in the same wall as the plant in the previous post.
This delicate plant was growing in the side of the wall of the grounds of Wenlock Priory.
Despite the (mainly) warm winter, I haven’t noticed that the snowdrops are flowering at any different time than usual.
