Wolves Wild

Spearmint (common garden herb mint) flowering, the tiny flower spikes on the top of the plant’s tall stem.

The wet but warm weather means the annual fungi flush (usually in autumn) now seems to be well underway. These red cracking boletes (and several others) were growing high on a grassy bank by St Peter’s Ring Road, near the University.

Frog lurking in a bird bath, submerged apart from eyes and nose. It developed routine of doing this for an hour or so in the middle of each day.

Ear fungi growing on their preferred host, an elder, in Hawthorn Wood recently.

Heron on a willow on an island in West Park lake, crouching down low, half-hidden by the foliage.

Wild arum berries, bright red and shiny, clustering together at the top of the stem. This plant was by the Railway Walk at Compton.
