Wolves Wild

Flowers dangling from a flowering current. My camera’s lens was almost touching the flowers to get these pictures.

Near Wightwick Mill lock, where a pair of jays were busy preening. The jays were high in a tree which was only a few yards from me, but were so busy they were ignoring me complete.

On the other side of the water, also high in a tree, there was a lone parakeet. It just gave me time for this single snap, before it decided it didn’t want the attention.

A bright yellow covering of pollen on these pussy willow catkins, contrasting with the blue of the sky on a sunny spring morning.

It’s getting to be that time of year again. A pair of coots on West Park lake arranging twigs to build up a nest in one of the favoured spots.

All along the shady section of the footpath by the Penk in Perton, hellebores in flower. Heading upstream towards the shopping centre, the flowers got progressively darker.

A carrion crow with small areas where its feathers are white, not black. These markings make it easy to spot, and whenever I do so it is on the opposite side of the road to Bantock Park.

Here it was exploring the moss on the roofs of garages, finding things to eat.
