Meadow brown butterfly resting half-hidden on a grass stem, getting warm before it took proper flight for the day.
Russula, grey cap, well nibbled
Seed heads, ragwort
Grey spotted amanitas, roadside, Wombourne
Grey spotted amanita mushrooms: the fruiting bodies come up regularly in late summer on a grassy area beside the Bridgnorth Road on the edge of Wombourne.
Pause before patrolling: common darter
Common darter dragonfly taking one of its regular pauses between bouts of patrolling its territory, ready to chase off encroaching males or try to attract passing females.
This one landed right by my fee to rest on the decking by the pool at Compton Park. Two, and sometimes three of these males have been claiming territory on different parts of the open water near this decking, and regularly coming to take pauses on the wood in the afternoon sun.
Rabbit, obviously a domesticated variety, which was running loose by the car park at Northycote Farm when I visited recently, finding something to eat on the ground and retreating to the cover of the hedgerow whenever someone with a dog came by.
Hopefully it was caught by the member of Northycote staff who I mentioned its presence to.
