Two of the West Park mallards walking and skidding on the ice on a partially frozen lake, finding something to eat.

Shovellers are ducks with bills that get wider towards the end. They feed by shovelling along the surface of the water to filter out the vegetable matter they eat.

Snow, already rapidly melting, on a flower and some buds of a camellia.

Two of the West Park magpies coming down the wall of the lake to a spot with a missing stone which give them easy access to bath in the water.

Three Northycote Farm cocks, each trying to get higher than the others on a piece of farm machinery.

Sheep peacefully grazing in a spot which was once filled with the bustle of Roman legionaries. Mile Flat at Greensforge cuts across what was a Roman military camp almost two thousand years ago.
