Wolves Wild

Successive stages in the development, post flowering, of a jack by the hedge (meadow salsify)

Bantock Park: a starling searching among the closely mown grass of the formal lawn area for worms and other food to take back to young at the nest.

Lone poppy flowering by the brickwork of the bridge over the canal at Dimmingsdale, the first wild poppy I noticed this year.

Bantock Park: a female blackbird searching through short grass for worms or other food to take back for young on the nest.

One of the scrub control goats at Baggeridge Country Park. By mid-morning it was already very hot, and the goats main aim was to find some shade.

Young frog finding a shady spot by water to cool itself on a hot, sunny day. Small, but probably too big to have been one of this year’s tadpoles.
