Wolves Wild

Remains of what was possibly a grass snake (Natrix natrix) which must have picked the wrong time to cross a quiet Suffolk country road.

A damselfly from one of the emerald species, one of perhaps two or three which were flying with a larger group of common blue damselflies over a pool in Baggeridge Country Park yesterday. The same species was in the same area in June to August last year.

A short holiday in East Anglia. In the low-lying land near the Suffolk coast I was struck by just how big the skies looked compared with anywhere else I had ever experienced.

These pictures taken either on the coast or just inland along the Suffolk Coast Path between Southwold and the RSPB Reserve at Mimsmere.

The same clematis flower, first when it was starting opening, then completely open.

Green water from the algal growth in West Park lake, contrasting with the white of the swans, sheparding this year’s half-dozen cygnets feeding on underwater vegetation.

Mass of blackfly clustering together around a stem.
