Spring cleaning in the cold

It seemed very appropriate that N decided to finish cleaning out our bird boxes on this, the final day of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2021 (main). Meanwhile, I completed the birdwatch and was delighted to include a tree creeper in my count.
In the afternoon I had a wander round the garden and had a look at the patterns in the ice on the pond. I really liked the one in the extra.
