Young black-headed gulls from the flock on the lake at West Park, standing on poles and a fallen log by one of the islands.

The same garden lily as in the last post, seen when both the flowers had opened early last month.

One of the two flowers of the garden lily, seen yesterday as buds, as it opened. The first picture here was taken in the evening, with the flower wide open. The second picture is from early on the morning of the same day, with the petals as yet just half open.

My first view of the West Park cygnets after a gap of about a month, and how they had grown. Almost as big as the mother swan, and their down almost completely replaced by feathers.

Male common darter resting on bullrush leaves on Compton Park pool, hoping to attract the attentions of a female, and ready to fend off any other male trying to grab its territory.

The dragonfly was out in the warm midday sun a couple of days ago

Twin flower buds on a garden lily, shortly before they began to open.
