An intricate wood carving of a mysterious face from folklore is now keeping a watchful eye over a Warwickshire nature reserve.
Honed from an ash tree brought down in a storm, the carving depicts the Green Man, a mythical entity who looks after plants and animals.
The sculpture has been unveiled at the entrance to Swift Valley Park, Rugby, a huge area of wetland, grassland and woodland opened by TV naturalist David Bellamy in 2003.
The reserve is already home to dragonflies, kingfishers and waterfowl, while swans have been encouraged to nest on the nearby River Swift.
The carving was commissioned after many people complained the entrance to the public park was unclear.
Cllr Bill Shields, the borough council's portfolio holder for leisure, said: "This is a real first for Rugby and one that will put the entrance of Swift Valley Park on the map.
"It's great to see such craftsmanship used to create such an eye-catching piece of sculpture that will form a local landmark."
