Bulrush seed heads, algae, frost

Seed-heads from some of the bulrushes (reedmace) on the Compton Park wetland area, at the ends of stem so battered by the weather they had bent from the vertical to an almost horizontal position.

The seed-heads had accumulated a coating of green algae, encouraged by the damp winter. On the morning these pictures were taken, the algal layer was further embellished with a sprinkling of frost.
