He would rather swim.

Lovely day today, had a crunching frost but the sun came out and in sheltered places it was really warm.
  Did our usual walk, Hollander See and around paths home. The See is totally frozen, lots of work going on there, clearing fallen trees and cutting back, should have been done years ago, but better late than never.
 This Moorhen, /Coot had to walk to get away from us, no open water at all.
