Harlequin ladybirds may look nice, but these invaders are a serious threat to our native species. I’ve seen more of them than of all other species so far this spring.

More sunbathing, turtle, West Park
The turtle or terrapin which appeared in the West Park lake in early April. Still seems to be comfortable, spending hours on warm days sunbathing on a log in the water.

#lockdown – Muscovy, Perton
Muscovy duck on the side of the lake at Perton. Probably a drake, a long term resident, spending most of its time around the area where children come to feed the ducks.
More pictures of plants I’ve seen while on lockdown walks – dates from late ASpril to mid May.
