Not something I notice very often: a pair of insects mating.
These were hoverflies, specifically sun flies, on a hawthorn leaf in the sun.
Russulas growing in the vegetation patch by the ring road as it passes through a cutting between the bus and railway stations.
Russulas are a genus of mushrooms which often have strongly coloured caps. Several species are pinkish, and I couldn’t get close enough to these to try to identify which they were.
Shaggy parasols in West Park, a day after the previous pictures.
They’ve now spread out and taken up the parasol shape.
