Wolves Wild

Chicken of the woods fungus growing on one of the cherry trees by the ring road.

There was a larger growth on the same tree two years ago, but even this looks tiny compared to one in East Park recently.

Small white butterfly looking rather like an extension of the flower it is resting on.

Vivid emerald green of a female beautiful demoiselle damselfly, usually harder to spot that the electric blue males.

There can be several visible at once on some sunny summer days by the banks of the Worfe at Worfield.

A mass of poppies growing in the next field to a crop of oilseed rape near Wombourne recently.

The only view I could get was from across the busy A449, so I couldn’t manage a composition which avoided the intrusive telegraph pole and line.

Cherries starting to ripen. Wood pigeons ate the lot before they were completely ripe.

A white clover which was growing hanging over the canal near Compton.

One of the geese at Northycote Farm, staring me down.

Carrion crow searching in the grass by the towpath near Wightwick, searching for dropped bread which had been intended for the ducks.

Young swallow, one of a small group perched on telegraph wires outside Lower Penn, socialising together.

Mouth open to vocalise …

and grooming.

Male damsel fly resting in grass by the river Worfe at Worfield.
