This mechanical sculpture by Andy Plant should be a better known sight in Wolverhampton city centre.
Every hour, just after the top of the hour, it performs the routine videoed here on the Art Gallery balcony overlooking Lichfield Street.

Compton lock
The first water to freeze on this stretch of the Staffs and Worcs canal was inside the historic lock at Compton. Minutes after this first picture was taken, a narrowboat came through and the thin ice was broken.
Pictures two and three were taken several days later, after the heavier snow fall. There was no sign then of ice forming over those stretches of the canal I saw.
These hips were still festooning a bush at the edge of the barley field in Smestow Valley Park at the end of November.
