These pictures were all taken in the field just behind Compton Lock a couple of days before Christmas.

This mushroom put up its fruiting body during the snowy period before Christmas. By the time I noticed it, a lot of the cap had been eaten, and there was a covering of snow on the remainder.

The stalks of umbellifers like this are now reduced to hollow woody skeletons, but are still capable of supporting such a weight of snow.

Berries on a free-standing hawthorn, with the haws and the branches they are growing on weighed down by snow.

As the open water disappeared before Christmas, ducks like this one got even more determined than usual to pester passers-by for food.
