Super photo's, Wendy! Not easy to get such a clear image of frost. Well done!:t:

Super photo, Brian.
Your frost pics are pretty, Wendy, so many different patterns it makes.

Wonderful pics, Brian and Wendy, especially of the frost.

The photo's are of a local Hospices grounds. It was good to see that children had used the grounds for sledging as there were tracks on the sloping ground. A lovely communal area for locals. Not many birds to be seen today, they were probably in the adjoining gardens on the bird feeders!

Thanks Val, Kits and Wendy!:t:

A sharp frost there, John!

That is a beautiful photo, John.

Lovely photo, John. Are those ducks Widgeon?

Stunning pic, John.

This is what is happening here just now ...

Oh! You have snow! Lovely! Means it is warmer though, as long as it doesn't freeze later, that is.

Yes, mostly Wigeon in the photo, it had been quite foggy and I believe that makes this a hoar frost, but everywhere was like it for the whole time we were there.

There was one particular Robin at Catcott which spent just as much time inside the hide as it did outside. Too close for a photo with the lens I had on at the time.

Actually, John, it makes it Rime, not a hoar frost. I only know because I happened to read Philip Eden's piece in the Telegraph last Saturday in which he explained the difference! If you shoud be remotely interested in the full explanation(!), then pm me and I'll bore you with the details!

Thank you, I had a suspicion that hoar was incorrect, hence my indecisive wording; I've googled rime now thanks.:t:

Unfortunately I've reached that age where I will have forgotten again by next week. :C

I would have said the same, John.o

We had one that did that at a hide we were in once, people were feeding it with their sandwiches & it was hopping from hand to hand. Deffinately on to a good thing. Very enterprising, Robins.||

Frosty cobwebs and holly from the garden.

Lovely photo's Wendy. I wonder if spiders get frozen toes, walking on frozen webs?:-O
