Wolves Wild

Garden strawberry plant with flowers and green, unripe fruit.

Five ducklings on the Compton to Wightwick Mill stretch of the canal. Despite losing both their parents in the first week after they hatched, the complete clutch have continued to thrive. Here. at about a month old, their juvenile down was beginning to give way to adult feathers.

Female orange tip butterfly, at rest with wings closed on a jack by the hedge leaf. When she stayed for some time, I thought she might be laying eggs. After she left, I had a good look, but couldn’t see anything.

Early morning, West Park. Flying swans. One landing on the boating lake, then a second takes off from the same area and starts to circle the island.

Red flowers, white flowers: horse chestnut candelabras from trees in front gardens at the opposite ends of Albert Road.

Hungry starlings working their way along an area of short grass in West Park, eating invertebrates.
