The frost was biting today as we went for a walk around the Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottingham. The nature reserve is a great place to look at the many bird species. You can also use one of the bird watching hides.
The view from across the frozen lake. Parts of the lake were unfrozen where the birds congregated.
The positive side to the freezing cold is it creates some lovely scenes.
The little robins posed for the camera. They are quite used to people being around.
This is a male blackcap eating crab apples. Normally, they migrate back to North Africa for the winter but because our winters are usually relatively mild and the food in nature reserves is plentiful a lot will stay here.
The gulls were all chasing the one gull who’d caught a crayfish for lunch.
At the nature reserve, you can explore the many trails, some long and some shorter. It was a bit too cold today to go too far, but it was still enjoyable.
