Wolves Wild

Confident enough to be singing, this dunnock was near enough I could have stretched out to touch if – if the bush hadn’t been in the way.

Reedmace, a.k.a. bulrushes, by the River Exe just downstream from Exeter Quays.

Black-headed gull, already in breeding plumage in mid-February, boldly standing on the quayside by the River Exe at Topsham.

A couple of shots at one of the many reed beds in the Exe estuary area. One stalk was standing taller than its fellows, stark against a threatening sky. Looking just a little lower down, the bed formed one mass.

The RSPB Bowling Green Marsh Reserve again. A shelduck upends to feed on the bottom of one of the shallow pools, while nearby, another duck snoozes.

Fungi, possibly velvet shanks, rotting the tree they are growing on. In their turn being sustenance for the white mould growing on them.
