Wildlife from Wolverhampton and nearby
Orange tip butterfly feeding on flowers if one of its favourite food plants, lady’s smock, on Doxey Marshes. I’d seen half a dozen other males that morning, and a single one of the more reclusive females. All the others dhad been moving too fast and unpredictably for me to focus on.
One of the oystercatchers on the shingle bank in front of the main hide at Doxey Marshes. To its right, half way to the small patch of netttles, a little ringed plover.
Kestrel hovering or flying to a hovering spot as it watched for prey on Doxey Marshes.
Moss, pale grean feathery leaves with darker green feathery fronds towering up higher. Growing on a section of the top of the churchyard wall at Worfield.
A group of five oystercatchers on the shingle bank nearest the main hide at Doxey Marshes recently.
