Wolves Wild

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.

Black-keaded gull, a young bird (second year, or perhaps third) on the post of a fence by the West Park lake, very early one morning.

Two rats on a patch of short grass West Park, eating peanuts which someone had left out for squirrels.

The rats know I was nearby, taking photos of them, but were unconcerned. Someone came down a nearby path with their dog on a long lead. Now the rats headed for the cover of undergrowth.
