Wolves Wild

The first ducklings I’ve managed to see this year, a recently-hatched pair with the mother mallard on the canal near Compton.

Weevil, possibly a willow weevil, resting on a hazel leaf early on a sunny morning.

Coot chicks, West Park. Most still very young, with the patch of red feathers on their heads, some being fed by their parents.

One rather older chick also pictured, as has the turtle, with coot nests near the log where it suns itself.

Bantock Park, long-fallen tree, insect holes bored in the trunk, making it look like it’s been used for darts practice.

A pair of nuthatches constantly busy in and out of their nest hole feeding chicks.
