Wolves Wild

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.

Another unwelcome insect garden visotor, some type of greenfly. It was at least on its own, and seemed just to be resting on the broom flower.

Goslings enthusiastically eating vegetation at the side of the canal and preening. At Dimmingsdale as the Canada goose parents watched from nearby.
