There has been some good frosts recently and most of the lakes are frozen. The birds are keeping under cover so after a hard year for finding wildlife, it has now got harder. The other day I did see a Goosander, but it was being swept rapidly down a swollen river and the light was going, so I didn't get any pictures.
Today I went out in the frost, I only managed a few photos.

By the bridge at sheepwash lane, I saw this Burdock plant coated with frost. It'd probably make a good Saturnalia decoration if the ice didn't melt.

We moved on to Swithland woods, but the only bird we saw was this Robin
