Wildlife from Wolverhampton and nearby
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.
Rose still in flower in the garden at Lavington’s Hole, Underhill, Bridgnorth, recently. Shot from behind the flower, with the sunlight passing through the petals, and also catching the supporting threads of the spiders’ webs on the bush.
The fourth of the titmouse species attracted to the feeders at Northycote Farm. Coal tits enjoying some seeds.
Cluster of yellowish berries on the end of a branch of one of the shrubs in the sensory garden at Northycote Farm.
Female blackbird in the hawthorn hedge by the side of the track leading down towards the stream at Northycote Farm. Just getting ready to fly off in the final picture.
Mass of candlestick fungi growing in close proximity near the path along the Penk at Perton. There must have been some dead wood buried there.
