Some of the fruiting bodies of a fungus growing on mulch near the river in Bridgnorth recently.

Every spring, the wisteria spreading across the front of the Mermaid Inn in Wightwick makes a fine display when it flowers.

Another visit to West Park, another set of views of the two Canada geese goslings and the adult birds, this time swimming on the lake, half way between the shore and the island.

Goosanders seem to be remaining more often for the summer on the Severn as it passes through Shropshire. This group of one male and three females were on a pebbly section of the river bank in Bridgnorth, seen here from the far shore. A black headed gull bathing in the water intrudes into the pictures.

Large clump of Jack by the hedge, growing by the overspill weir at Wightwick Lock, when they were in flower early this month.

There are many, indeed too many, Canada geese living on the lake at West Park. I don’t remember any of them producing goslings in previous years. But this week I have seen four different pairs of adults with young. These, swimming with their two goslings in the boating lake on Monday, were the first I spotted.
