#lockdown #TeamWolverhampton – Common Stretch Spiderr: Tetragnatha extensa
Less than a centimetre long. It’s web strung between leaves of an alkanet plant, invisible to me until I saw these photos.
Common stretch spiders are apparently common. I am not aware of ever having noticed one before.
#lockdown #gardensafari – female sparrow, tongue
Female sparrow, mouth open, showing tongue.
Her nest in is the holly tree. She had just landed after eating at bird feeders, was making a brief call before going on to the nest itself.

Flowers from front gardens passed on my daily walk.

Female blackbird, pausing before flying into the bush where the nest is. Pictures taken on two separate days, both with a beak full of vegetation likely selected for lining the nest.
