Wolves Wild

Brightening up a front garden in Topsham, bright reds of a japonica.

Wigeon, feeding in a flock on the short grass in the RSPB Bowling Green Marsh reserve, or socialissing while on the water there.

This tree in the distance caught my eye, playing host to around ten bunches of mistletoe.

A lone jackdaw strolls nonchalantly under a picnic table, inspecting the ground for any dropped morsels.

Growing, apparently, from the same spot on the wall of a building on Ilfracombe Pier, a sow thistle emerges from one side of a drainpipe, and a wall pennywort (Umbilicus rupestris) from the other.

Snipe are often more reclusive than many other species of wader. A pair on the RSPB Bowling Green reserve were on the edge of the scrape directly under the hide, though only one was in plain sight. Meanwhile others were crouched behind clumps of sedge by the pools near the lane.
