Wolves Wild

A cluster of glistening inkcaps growing on wood chip mulch in a front garden. The caps of these mushrooms do indeed sometimes glisten, but not when these pictures were taken.

A young rat in West Park dragging something several times its own length. Not sure what it was, but the rat was very determined to drag it along, and eventually made the security of some shrubbery.

The same boletes growing by forcing their way through the tarmac of a pavement as in a recent post. Here seen on a revisit four days later, with one of the mushrooms greatly enlarged.

Tiny garden snail, no more that a quarter inch across, which had somehow taken up residence on the inside of a recycling bin.

Growing after forcing their way through the tarmac of a pavement, a pair of boletes, possibly suede boletes.

The two residential gull species on the lake at West Park. Black-headed gulls, currently lacking the black head of the breeding plumage, swimming by in the foreground. Meanwhile, a juvenile lesser black backed gull looms behind them as it stands on a fallen bough.
