Cormorant flying overhead. I had my bridge camera with me, so the pictures I got were these silhouettes and the (unplanned) dreamy out of focus shot at the bird’s nearest approach.

Cormorant — the same bird as featured in this recent post — getting ready to launch itself into flight from the water of the River Exe.

Remains of one of last year’s meadowsweet plants, covered in frost during the cold spell at the start of the month. The plant usually grows in damp places – this one was at the edge of the canal at Compton.

More pictures of some of the various species of seaweed thrown up on the shore by the tide on the rocky beach of Lee bay in north Devon.

Pair of the West Park mallards on the frozen and apparently rather slippy surface of the boating lake early this month, making their way carefully over the ice.

Cormorant swimming just upstream of a weir in the River Exe at Exeter, occasionally diving to catch a fish.
