These non-flowering plants are often inconspicuous green patches with small leaves.
Mallard
The commonest wild duck. Males, as here, are richly coloured.
Butter waxcap
When free of frost, this waxcap was bright yellow (see below). Probably the butter waxcap, but several others are also yellow.
Alder catkins
More catkins – this time from an alder.
Robin
A bit late for Christmas, but this robin was strutting over the frosty ground yesterday.
Moorhen
On the rare occasions moorhens can be clearly seen on dry land, their feet look disproportionately large.
