Spring is finally arriving when the lesser celandines begin to flower. These were the first I noticed this year, in the perhaps favoured climate beside the Severn at Worcester.

West Park magpie, one of a large group feeding on the ground near the boating lake, strutting across short grass.

Pair of turfted ducks – the male, on the left, showing the tuft on the back of the head. These were swimming at Pool Hall Fisheries.

Turkey tail, a bracket fungus with small zoned fruiting bodies which grow in clusters. This patch of turkey tail, on a felled tree trunk in Bantock Park, has vegetation concentrated on some of the zones.

The inconspicuous flowers of some of the yew trees in West Park.

Sheep at Northycote Farm. The weather was miserable the day I visited, and I thought the sheep had suitably sheepish expressions.
