No, find your own now...!
House sparrow mother on the right teaching one of this year's chicks to fend for itself a bit, by turning her back and not offering food. They all have to fly the nest eventually.

One hairy beastie
The caterpillar of a Pale Tussock moth (Calliteara pudibunda) which fell out of a garden tree that I was pruning. What looks like horns on the left are actually on the rear end of the animal. The moth
Image is fairly common across much of the country, but the caterpillars were a bit of a nuisance to hop pickers in the southeast of England at one time as their hairs can be irritant.

Ashy Mining Bee on pyracanthus flowers
Taken in the back garden on a sunny May afternoon. The Ashy Mining Bee (Andrena cineraria) is one of the country's solitary bees, not uncommon across England and Wales, but maybe not often noticed. They are ground nesters, making a small excavation in the bare soil with a 'spoil heap' around the entrance, and feed on a variety of both wild and garden spring flowers.

Bumblebee on pyracanthus flowers
This one, as far as I can make out, is probably a Buff-tailed worker bee, or a White-tailed worker. If anyone is able to give a more definitive identification, please get in touch.

Former Lloyds Bank in Shifnal
The branch closed in October 2016, by which time it seemingly had just 15 'active' customers remaining. The upper floor still appears to be occupied by an accountancy firm, although that was taken over in 2014, and they may find themselves looking for new premises as a result of the bank's decision to close. The building is listed Grade II as described at http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-255275-lloyd-s-bank-shifnal-#.WDDGtNSLTGg & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1176372, and dates from 1840. Since closure as a bank, the building has been mostly used as a day nursery for young children.
