Robin which came hopping round by the table on a pub terrace I had just sat down on. It hung around just long enough for me to get out my camera and fire off this one shot.

Feeding time, Stratford
A black-headed gull is the most vociferous of the birds in demanding food from someone on the bank of the river Avon.
Its assertiveness seems to be paying off in fitness. The bird (centre in the second picture) is developing the black cap of breeding plumage earlier than the rest of the birds around.

Medlars rotting
Medlars are the fruits of shrubs (also called medlars). They are rarely eaten these days, being unsuitable for commercial distribution because the flesh must rot to a brown colour before they are edible.
These were growing in or fallen off a shrub in the RSC Gardens by the river in Stratford on Avon. There are medlars in various Shakespeare-related places in the town, doubtless because they get mentioned in four of his plays.
