Three seed-heads growing on the same teazle in the wetland area around the Compton Park pool, seen on a frosty morning earlier this month.

Two of the members of a small party of redwings which were busy feeding in the short grass by a footpath in Perton a few days ago.

Bluetit high it a tree in Perton, methodically searching the lichen growing thickly on the bark, probably hunting for invertebrates. It’s the same bird as in this post.

Winter-time thistle even more spiky than usual. Long, thin frost crystals after a freezing night like a myriad of additional thorns.

Lone male goosander resting placidly on the water, about as far away as it was possible to get from the shore of the large pool on the Penk at Perton earlier this month.

Boats moored by the boatyard at Newbridge on a day when the early morning mist was thick.
