Wolves Wild

The first lesser celandines I’ve spotted flowering this year. Right on the edge of the canal about a hundred yards from the water bridge.

Goosander drake, the same bird featured in yesterday’s post, and still on Bridgnorth’s Bylet gravel beach. Now taking a long rest. First pictures taken from the bridge; final picture taken after I walked up to High Town, looking down to the river from Castle Walk.

The whispy seeds of an old man’s beard – these were by the side of the Railway Walk at Newbridge.

Goosander drake on the gravel beach on the upstream tip of the Bylet at Bridgnorth, busy preening its breast feathers.

Coral fungus growing in one of the beds of Castle Grounds Park, Bridgnorth. This is the third lot of this fungus I’ve noticed at different  times in the park. Each time it’s been in a different bed. Each time it’s been darker than the time before.

A dunnock standing on what is obviously a regular lookout post surveying its territory within the Castle Grounds at Bridgnorth.
