Wolves Wild

Ripening rose hips – in this variety they looked almost spherical

A wheatear takes a break in the vegetation of Berry Head (at the southern end of Torbay) on its autumn migration.

The bird was off to warmer climes for the winter early last month.

Teazles growing on rough ground at the edge of Wolverhampton Science Park, heavily colonised by small spiders.

Young gull which had found the remains of a ray or similar cartilaginous fish by the shore, and was eating as much as it could before other gulls spotted the delicacy.

A couple of turnstones which had found an alternative to their usual hunting grounds on the shoreline.

One was worrying a mussel which it had found in a moored working boat in Brixham harbour.

The other was a young bird which had found there were rich pickings if it hung out on the pavement outside the chip shops on the front.

The ripening seeds on a meadowsweet growing at the edge of the canal, almost glowing in the light of the morning sun.
