White berries of a mid-winter mistletoe, with golden branches marking where the new growth has already started.

Swans on the river at Stratford on Avon often take a short hop flight to move to a spot in sight a little up or downstream. Here a small group were taking off, running along the water as they got up the speed to get fully airborne.

Mazegill bracket fungus high on tree, showing the convoluted, supposedly maze-like lower surface.

A long-tailed tit flitting from twig to twig in the tree above me. Seemed like every time I got it in focus it immediately moved on.

Wildlife trail revealed by light frost on short grass. Probably a badger track; there were several holes in the ground nearby, left when badgers had been digging for worms.

Black-headed gull travelling downstream on a River Avon in flood at Stratford, riding a bough as if it was a surf board.
