Wolves Wild

Views over the River Teme at Dinham. Featuring Ludlow Castle, Dinham Bridge and a lone fisherman.

Unripe iris seeds, on one of the plants growing just outside the main entrance to Bantock House.

Drake with green plumage – some kind of mallard cross. Hangs out with the mallards which congregate near the Horseshoe Weir on the River Teme at Ludlow.

St John’s wort: the cultivated plant (sometimes grown as a garden hedge) is bushier and with larger flowers. These flowers were on one of the wild plants growing on the lower slopes of Toposcope Hill, Baggeridge Country Park.

Flower and buds of a thistle growing on the parapet of Dinham Bridge over the River Teme at Ludlow. The river can be seen, out of focus, in the background.

The pictures of the chicken in the wood fungus in the previous post were taken three weeks ago.

This morning I went back to Himley Plantation. The fungus was still on the tree, somewhat battered, and somewhat larger. Some of the growth on the outer edges of the brackets looked fresh enough to have been the product of the last few hours.
