We're stuck in the middle of a 24 hour winter. The snows fell last night, and are slowly thawing today. Still, it makes the garden look pretty, and provides some nice tell-tale signs of fox activity.
I had managed to put some food out for the birds, and a few blue tits and greenfinches were making good use of it. Not a great shot, but it gives an idea of what I could see from the back door.
As for seeing foxes in the snow, no luck tonight but while I was waiting I took a few shots of the thawing snow/ice as it clung to the beech trees.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens apart from teh blue tit which was taken with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

6 Feb 2012Very pretty indeed! The snow is lovely, but by this time of the year, I expect you will be happy to see it go. You have such beautiful birds!

6 Feb 2012The closeups of the thawing ice are great :up: There's still snow on the ground here but it is melting somewhat.

6 Feb 2012Darko, I wasn't sure how long the freeze would last, so I thought I should provide some food. Keeps them happy 😉

6 Feb 2012Lois, the snow is almost gone. It was just a couple of hours of snow fall, and we seemed to get most of it. It's already thawing.
