The beautiful sunshine of earlier in the week has gone, but it&#39;s dry which is certainly a small mercy. With temperatures around freezing, and significant wind-chill it isn&#39;t the best time for going out photographing wildlife, but a brief trip to the pond found one pretty duck happy to pose for a few shots.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/duck_2102132887.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/duck_2102132889.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/duck_2102132891.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Out in the garden we&#39;re still being visited by various foxes, including a now heavily pregnant vixen. She&#39;s very shy (I&#39;ve seen her twice directly, but she has both times flown out of the garden) so the trail camera is the next best option. Here she is being very calm and passive in the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Pregnant Vixen\" width=\"1200\"
