Morello sour cherries, picked from my tree a few minutes ago. I've been picking one or two bowls full nearly every day for two weeks. An excellent crop this year.
Newt tadpole
| |
|
An unexpected bit of wildlife in my small pond - a newt tadpole. I haven't seen any sign of newts around the pond, but I have encountered adult newts in the garden many years ago. I also did not see any newt spawn.
Cropped to a third height and just under third width.

This was darting about near my small pond, rarely settling long enough to get a photo.
Cropped to just under half the width & height.

Long grass in morning sun.

Following "no mow May" my back garden is looking a bit wild. Very pretty in the morning sun but not kind to my hay fever.
Hoverfly (Helophilus pendulus)

One of the commonest hoverflies in the UK, basking on an iris leaf in my small pond.
Fox furball?
| |
|
I'm guessing that this is a "furball" thrown up by a fox. I didn't prod it to investigate any further.
