    The whole series of images is just exquisite. This epitomises a winter wonderland. I can't choose a favourite between the ducks/birds and the beautiful village/landscape shots. The moon? stunning!

    Some very atmospheric shots Jim. You seem to have been getting similar weather to what we've had in Langholm.

    Some great photos Jim. Love the Goldfinches on the feeders. You seem to get a lot of them in the borders and I always see them on walks down there but they are pretty scarce around here. Council workers clearing the pavements are a rare breed in Glasgow as well. All the side streets and pavements around me have been covered in snow and ice for over a week now.

      Thanks Bob, I'm wondering if Goldfinches are on the increase Bob. I saw loads down in Gloucester too.
      We've had the council workers clearing pavements, but the main town square where people wait for buses is still as slippery as ever. Sods Law I guess.

      The birds are Goldfinches Tammie,
      Those clouds full of snow were the last fall close to the town. However it's cold enough that the snow has stayed.
