Wolves Wild

This tall lichen was growing at a shady spot in the RSPB Coombes Valley Reserve.

This fly has huge red eyes. There is also a golden tinge to its wings and abdomen.

There are two tiny insects with very long tails feeding on this thistle flower.

The flowers are the blue structures and the brighter red structures. The pink “petals” at covers of the flower bud. This is yet another plant from the Conservatory at West Park.

These fruit have swollen pretty much to full size, but have not yet begun to change colour.

These gulls were busily feeding on short grass by a lake next to a golf course, but when someone came along they took flight instantly.
