Lichens on the Barley Field blackthorns; the twigs and the lichens lightly frosted early one morning.

Canada geese on West Park lake – despite the thick mist, they had spotted someone scattering a handful of grain by one of the paths.

They took off in some numbers, rushing to get to the grain first. A flock of pigeons were nearer, and beat the geese. But there was still plenty to eat when they did land.

Primroses flowering in January: these were in the churchyard at Albrighton.

Swan swimming low, splashing the water all over its feathers in preparation for having a good clean.

Leafy lichen lit by a low winter sun. It was growing along the top of the parapet of the wooden footbridge across the marshy area of the i54 nature reserve.

A misty January morning in West Park. Very few people about. Magpie using one of the benches by the bandstand as a lookout point.
