Wolves Wild

Castlecroft Bridge over the Staffs & Worcs canal connects two fields between Castlecroft and Wightwick. Last time I was down that way, a narrowboat was moored conveniently where it would add more interest to a picture.

Clouded agarics are fairly common mushrooms which can be found from summer to late autumn. Like this one, they are usually found in woods.

Spider’s web between twigs on a tree beside the Railway Walk near Castlecroft, with the sunlight coming through the higher branches lighting up the silk strands of the web.

This red admiral butterfly was very focussed on eating from an ivy flower recently: it completely ignored a hand coming this close

A late-season thistle flower in the verge of a lane near Worfield last month. A spider has woven its web resting on the spikes surrounding the flower.

The bright autumn colours of a Virginia creeper. This one was clinging to a conifer in the garden of a house near to the Upper Green, Tettenhall.

Pictures are of the fungus showing its development one week after the photos here.

A small spider was crawling along the rim of this flower.

A single waterlily flower still blooming in the Bantock Park pond a month ago, with the autumn leaf-fall beginning to accumulate on the lily pads.
