Wolves Wild

Robin in ash tree, singing to warn other robins off from infringing on its territory.

Clitocybe houghtonii – despite the striking appearance of these mushrooms, they are not common enough to have an English name.

They grow in clumps on the ground in woods, and have white or creamy to yellowish caps and slightly pink gills.

A summer and autumn species: these were ones we were shown in the Northycote Farm woods on the fungi foray back in October.

A group of black and white inkcaps growing on a wooded grassy bank by Wolverhampton ring road.

Possibly hare’s foot inkcaps, but when I noticed them they were ahowing signs of age so it was hard to be sure.

Pair of mature ash trees growing by the farm track/bridleway which heads off from Castlecroft.

The twisty shape of the trees is no longer softened now they have lost their leaves for the winter.

A stuffed toy, perhaps a meerkat, standing guard on the tiller of a moored canal boat.

Graffiti artists rarely deal in wildlife themes. This was on an arch of the viaduct carrying the railway across the canal at Oxley.
