Three herons on the West Park boating lake island, catching the winter sun. This meant they had to stand not far from each other, but they were doing the frequent heron trick of each ignoring the others.

Chickens (including cock) from Northycote Farm, their glossy feathers plumped up for warmth as they stood in the sun on a frosty morning.

Frozen pond at Northycote Farm, with mallards confined to the remaining patch of open water by the far shore.

Still going round in circles, some of the shovellers which have moved onto the West Park lake for the winter.

Stay indoors on a cold morning, a Gloucester old spot pig (probably the boar) at Northycote Farm earlier this month.

Two wodd pigeons on observation posts overlooking the bird feeding area at Northycote Farm, preparing to pounce when there is an opening for them to vacuum up the seed spilled on the ground.
