I popped to Tesco's for some shopping and the car park was a very icey. And of course in the 20 minutes I was away the postman had left a card that he had tried to deliver my mobile broadband!! Luckily he was across the road so I could get it.
After lunch I popped to Connaught Water and took some pics. The was a dead mallard in one of the sheets of ice :( Shows how hard our wildlife has had it.
The Red Crested Pochard is an escape, been there 4 years or so.
Something different next weekend.

Wonderful pictures Pete. Sorry to hear about the Mallard. The unusual cold spell must be tough on birds that aren't use to it.
The group of Mallards stands out very well against the white of the ice. Nice one!
(The other pictures aren't bad either! ;) )
Nice pics Pete, glad you did not miss the Gulls, LOL.
paul.
Its amazing how a little bit of snow makes everything so pretty.Lovely shots of the ducks.
What incredibly beautiful ducks. I wonder exactly where you live to be so close to such wildlife?
thanks all
Anony - these were taken just south of Epping Essex UK.
