The pair of Muscovy ducks in West Park like to perch on the wooded structure by the side of the boating lake in front of the Conservatory.

Berries covered in hoar frost a couple of days ago.

More colours of autumn: oak leaves still on the trees at the end of November, when most other trees had long shed theirs.

Spot the bird species from the footprints left in the first snow of the winter. Pictured are those from a pigeon, a canada goose and a coot.

The water bird prints were on the snow lying on the ice on the lake at West Park; the pigeon prints on the lake bank.

The fruits of the hawthorn are edible, should anyone wish to go to the trouble of making a jam, jelly or homemade wine out of them.

One of several related species of mushroom whose caps take a form similar to a funnel.
