Island in the larger lake at Perton. Heron by the shoreline, staring intently at the water, alert for any prey.
Roadside milk cap, Perton
Single mushroom, one of the milk cap species, by the main road just outside the Perton estate.
Common Bonnet Mycenae, front garden
Growing in a front garden by a main road, with ground level inside the garden wall conveniently at waist height, troops of tiny and delicate-looking common bonnet mycenae.
Brown rat, Perton
Brown rat by the lake at Perton, at the spot where young children are often brought to feed the ducks and geese. Its companion disappeared as soon as it noticed me there, but this one carried on looking for crumbs.
Like many other creatures, rats seemed to get a lot bolder during lockdown one in the spring. Unlike many others, they seem to have kept up the habit.
Verdigris mushroom, much faded
Verdigris mushroom growing by the footpath in Compton Rough. The green colour much faded, washed away by rain.
Jackdaw pair on aerial
Pair of jackdaws on a tv aerial, before one decided to fly off.
