Heron on one of the islands in the West Park lake, fishing. It was too far away to see what it was managing to catch.
Two other herons were also loitering in the vicinity, looking on suspiciously.
These pictures have been hanging fire since late August. But when I visited the park a few days ago, a heron was showing on the same stretch of shoreline.
As autumn approached, most acorns began to swell as they ripened. A spell of wet weathr meant some rotted before they were ripe.
Still not getting many photo-ops, but there’s a few subjects still pending from before I broke my knee. These long horn cattle were grazing on Christ Church meadow in Oxford, back when it was still summer.
This picture once again from the same walk on Sunday. It was a beautiful sunny November morning, and so cold early on, with lots of dew on the grass and other vegetation. This mound of moss on the top of a wall caught my eye, and was at a convenient height for a close-up.
More posts when I have the chance – there’s a lot of medical appointments in the near future.
Still on the same walk last Sunday. These white mushrooms were growing by a grassy area near Bantock Park. I wasn’t confident enough on my crutches to try to get any closer for a better look.
Another sighting on the same walk as the earth star. this one’s a suede bolete. It was growing under a tree just a little further along the road.
