January freeze

So mid way through Jan and we are in a cold snap, the lakes still look beautiful but frozen in time with a covering of thick ice, the good thing is I don't have to worry about predators from above. I am going to make more effort to keep these Blogs up to date with what's occurring at the lakes. Its crazy to think 10 weeks time and the Tench will feeding well and spring will be bursting out everywhere.

Even a sunbeam cant melt the surface

Winter colours can be quite stunning

The Blue Tits were also keen for a hand out
