The view immediately after getting on the canal towpath at Wightwick while the recent snow was on the ground.

A male house sparrow perching near the top of the hedge by the canal at Castlecroft on a snowy day.

Catkins hanging from twigs on a hazel tree when the snow was lying on the ground last month.

A male shoveller standing on the ice of the partly frozen West Park lake, preening

A female mallard standing nearby, also preening.

A different male shoveller and female mallard, also close by. All four birds can just about be distinguished in the wider view of the same scene posted yesterday.

Two versions of the view across the canal near Compton to Dell Field on a misty and frosty morning.

I couldn’t decide which version I preferred.

A partly-frozen West Park lake with snowy island, looking down from the bridge.
