The first, solitary, bluebell I’ve spotted this year. It was growing on the grassy bank between Hawthorn Wood and the canal, not far from Dunstall Water Bridge.

Frogspawn, Wightwick Manor
Frogspawn, already beginning to develop. The weather this spring has not been good for breeding frogs (and others).

Fish, Wightwick Manor
An impressively large fish swimming in the pool at Wightwick Manor.
