Wolves Wild

A coot on its nest in a bed of reeds, presumably brooding eggs.

A litter of Gloucester Old Spot piglets with their mother at Northycote Farm.

The piglets had grown enough to be on solid food.

They are pictured shortly after getting their morning ration of pig pellets.

Pictures taken on the same day as those of the much younger litter of the same breed here.

Blue tit hanging around by the bird feeders at Northycote Farm.

Flower growing from an apple bush in the canalside hedge near Wightwick.

Taken before many magnolia flowers have now been brought down by the recent strong winds.

The delicate flowers of this maple are similar in colour to the newly unfolded leaves.

A closer view of a few of the flowers on the bushes which featured in the previous post.

The blackthorn bushes at the edge of Barley Field recently.

From a distance, the flowers turned the bushes to a ghostly white.

A few of the pink flowers among the blue forget-me-nots of a plant growing by one of the entrances to the Smestow Valley Railway Walk.

Tiny reed bunting hiding in a reed bed by the canal at Compton.
