Wolves Wild

Crowd of teazles on the ever more burgeoning plants growing near the edge of the wetland area in Compton Park.

Hawker dragonfly patrolling its territory, a stretch of the canal at Compton. A pair of swans by the far bank seem to have been preening together every one of the several times I visited that area recently.

Pair of moorhens with young looking chicks, perhaps hatched earlier that day, on the main pond at the Packhorse Bridge LNR, Hampton in Arden.

Butterflies, visitors to a garden at various times over a couple of sunny July days, mostly attracted to feed on buddleia flowers.

Bunch of vibernum berries, beginning to ripen on a bush behind Compton Lock.

Two West Park herons at separate vantage points, one on each island early one morning.
