Every spring, the wisteria spreading across the front of the Mermaid Inn in Wightwick makes a fine display when it flowers.

Goosanders (and a black headed gull), Pebbly Severn shore

Goosanders seem to be remaining more often for the summer on the Severn as it passes through Shropshire. This group of one male and three females were on a pebbly section of the river bank in Bridgnorth, seen here from the far shore. A black headed gull bathing in the water intrudes into the pictures.
