Another visit to West Park, another view of the greylag goose parents very protective of their lone gosling, which this time was feeding on a grassed patch near the bridge.
Azure damselfly selection
Azure damselflies resting on vegetation. Pictures taken earlier this month.
Cygets, start of this month
The West Park cygnets with their parents. Pictures taken at the start of the month – I’ve just noticed I didn’t get round to posting them.
Plants, portrait format
Recent plant pictures. The only thing they really have in common is a similar aspect ratio to the pictures.
Thick-legged flower beetle – female, on rose
Female thick-legged flower beetle on a rose flower in the Barley Field. Unlike the males of the species (post below) she does not have the thick legs which give them their name.
Thick-legged flower beetles, male, fighting
Three male thick-legged flower beetles on the same umbellifer flower head. As I took the pictures, two of the mailes had a fight to decide which should get access to the choice flowers, then both set about eating.
