Flower growing from an apple bush in the canalside hedge near Wightwick.

Taken before many magnolia flowers have now been brought down by the recent strong winds.

The delicate flowers of this maple are similar in colour to the newly unfolded leaves.

A closer view of a few of the flowers on the bushes which featured in the previous post.

The blackthorn bushes at the edge of Barley Field recently.

From a distance, the flowers turned the bushes to a ghostly white.

A few of the pink flowers among the blue forget-me-nots of a plant growing by one of the entrances to the Smestow Valley Railway Walk.

Tiny reed bunting hiding in a reed bed by the canal at Compton.

There were still frosty mornings at the start of the month, here decorating the growing leaves of a nettle.

Leaves opening at the end of a pussy willow twig. The leaves begin to open after the catkins which give the tree its name have fallen.

Reeds, just upstream from Compton Lock, seen from the opposite bank of the canal.

A section of Tettenhall ridge from a distance, showing a range of colours as the trees were starting to come into leaf.
