Wolves Wild

Two different species of waxcap mushrooms spotted earlier this month, both seen while walking along a busy main road into Wolverhampton, growing at the front of neighbouring properties.

Two swan families seen on a frosty morning in Perton, one by the smaller pool, the others by the footpath along the Penk between the two pools.

Wood blewit mushrooms growing under the hedge by the track at Northycote Farm. These were mature specimens which had lost the violet tinge in their colour.

The Northycote Farm turkey pair on a frosty and sunny morning earlier this month. The sun was low in the sky and behind them, lighting their wattles from behind and making them glow bright red.

Pretty much every time I tried to capture that effect, the birds would move their heads slightly so their wattles were shadowed.
