Wolves Wild

Green veined white butterfly resting on vegetation in the woodland near the old nursery, Smestow Valley Nature Reserve.

Not actually a mischief of magpies – that’s one of the supposed terms for them gathered asw a group. Instead, different birds hunting as individuals, happened across on my lockdown exercise.

Oak apples on a tree in Bantock Park. So recent the surface was still slightly soft, and had not yet begun to darken.

A pair of barnacle geese which paid a short visit to the lake at West Park last month – landed one afternoon, had disappeared by the following morning.

Tiny, bright red, with a single black spot on each wing, 2-spot ladybirds.

By the side of the same pond as the dragonfly in the previous post, a large red damselfly also resting on the poolside vegetation.
