Photo's taken today at: Anglesey Abbey

the frost photos viewed in large are a bit special. Good to see there is still some food available for the birds although I would think the blackbird won't be sharing

Thanks Germain, the blackbird was eating a lot of berries...

Cracking photos SM, and I find it hard to beat frost or snow photos.

National Trusts are worth keeping a watch on for wildlife and plants, and though  I've not many English (inc Welsh & Scottish Heritage sites nearby, they too can be worth keeping a watch on.

Thanks Mike.

Yes they are good to visit and it doesn't take many trips to make the membership worthwhile.

It certainly doesn't.

I make frequent visits to two localish Nat Trusts (Baddesley Clinton & Charlecote Park), and even with my wife on the membership, though she's an infrequent visitor, I can still make it good value.

BTW, was at Baddesley yesterday, checking out the snowdrops... And the redwings, report and photos to follow....   

Anglesey Abbey is also popular for the snow drops, they were just starting to open. We may have to go back in a few weeks...

Most Nat Trusts have snowdrops, but don't leave it that long, two weeks tops, or you could miss the best.

Time for a return visit, been almost a year. Not quite as frosty today.
