Wolves Wild

Horses hoof fungus growing on a fallen tree trunk in a wooded area by the River Severn at Bridgnorth.

This auracaria (monkey puzzle) tree seems to have one set of branches half way up the trunk, and another at the top.

Lots of grey squirrels have a red(dish) stripe down their backs and onto the tails. This is one of the well-fed West Park squirrels.

One of the Bridgnorth riverside residents threw a couple of slices of bread into the river. About a hundred black headed gulls appeared as if from nowhere – actually from the other side of the bridge. There was a brief mêlée as they all tried to get a share.

Hens seem to get out to take a wander on the Library Steps connecting Low Town and High Town in Bridgnorth. On my last visit this was the only one, keeping a wary eye on me.
