Wolves Wild

Figs on a tree in the garden of the Shakespeare Birthplace in Stratford on Avon, still filling out in the middle of winter.

Swans in flight, coming in to land, dropping down to treetop height.

Remains from one of last year’s umbellifers growing in Compton Rough, seen on a frosty morning recently.

Lone rose still blooming in the middle of winter in the garden of the Shakespeare birthplace at Stratford on Avon. An icicle hanging from the flower: seen after snow a couple of days after Christmas.

Young heron, down to the water of West Park boating lake to drink some water then, when it had finished, back on the island.

Henley Street, Stratford on Avon, always busy with groups of visitors heading for Shakespeare’s Birthplace. Right by that tourist mecca, three pied wagtails, perching on the roof of the Public Library next door, then swooping down to search for mid-winter insects in the brickwork of the pedestrianised street.
