Wolves Wild

Hereford bull looking on sceptically while a heifer seems to be nibbling away at a thistle. More of the animals over the fence at Northycote Farm.

A young magpie standing on a wall at the back of Bantock House, close enough to display some of the iridescent blues and greens in its wing and tail feathers.

Japanese acer bush in Bantock Park, with leaves which have turned a very vivid red for autumn, setting up a contrast with the green of the surrounding conifers.

Black-headed gulls flying in to join those already standing on a fallen branch in the River Severn at Bridgnorth.

Distant view of the Wrekin from a footpath near the Staffordshire / Shropshire border. With marked aerial perspective, where distant things look pale and blueish.

Honey fungus fruiting bodies usually grow in dense clumps at the base of the trees they are parasiting. This is a rare exception.
