The spring is sprung, the grass is ris – I wonder where the birdies is?

So goes the popular comic poem – and it’s a question that we might finally be able to answer thanks to some of the works from this week’s collection from the Tizer’s fantastic band of Camera Club snappers.

Wildlife is stretching back into action as the spring rises above the glorious landscape of north Shropshire, and that’s perfect reason for our band of talented photographers to polish their lenses and document the local area.

The start of spring hasn’t all been plain sailing – you only have to look at Rob Evans’ pictures of the recent floods brought about by Storm Franklin to see that – but the cold clear night skies and the pale blue of a sunlit day is there to see in the contributions from other photographers in this week’s gallery.

Once again our local photographers have spread their skills across a range of disciplines.

We have landscapes, such as Mary Morgan’s distant shot of Rodney’s Pillar and Jan Gilchrist’s Ceiriog Valley views.

We have animals, including the sharp-as-a-tack shot of Brian Pydd’s alert pet and some pictures of highly colourful garden visitors.

And we have a sprinkling of humour – as Oswestry’s Festival Square Borderland Farmer was given a woolly makeover by mystery yarn-bomber.
