Beauty on the pond....

A cold and frosty morning....

School run done.

An hour to spare before my brother came to sort my electrics out.

So luck to have such wondeful places right on our doorstep!

The pond was frozen solid.

The Mallards and Mandarin ducks were dozing on the ice. Not interested in the food I had bought them.

This is 2 male Mandarin ducks back in their full breeding plumage....
