Hurray! It's 1 December, snow is falling and Christmas in on the ho-ho-horizon. To get in the spirit, we're starting this virtual advent calendar - 24 posts counting down the days to Christmas and celebrating the beauty of nature in winter. Join us every day as we open another calendar door to see what's inside.
So, for day one, I couldn’t resist sharing these winter funnies to kick us off... It turns out that coots enjoy ice skating too!

'Cue Bolero!'
It's not always easy to hug a hedgehog.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't.
'How's that for a toe spin?'
Best wishes Chris
