We woke to a frozen canal, as expected. But last year, we were frozen in on the south Oxford Canal at Fenny Compton, so we've not seen the north Oxford Canal here at Hillmorton frozen. So here is Josie, staring at the canal and the mouth of the marina.
The other shot is Pete's Moorhen friend who always hears the side hatch open. S/he watches, he throws duck and swan food (edible by Moorhens as well, we are assured :-), and it is gobbled up from the top of the ice amongst the snowflakes frozen as they fell and have remained. Poor thing is cold, of course, often standing on only one foot, the other folded up for warmth.
