Stone and ice...


Winter begins to set in with a vengeance as snow disrupts eastern and southern parts of the UK, while temperatures drop below zero Celsius. This is compounded by a brisk northerly wind which makes it feel colder still.
I spend part of the afternoon attempting to photograph a Little Egret feeding amid the frozen waters on Wick Fields, Christchurch, but it's the detail images I shoot that prove to be the most successful.
The stone, picked out by the late afternoon sunlight, contrasts with the reflected blue of the sky on the surface of the frozen water, with submerged vegetation providing added texture to the image.
