Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking across the marshes towards the main line railway and Doxey on a very cold afternoon. The 'heron' in the pond, which looks quite convincing from a distance is in fact a woven sculpture!

Dist:0.3km<br/>Canada geese roosting on this pond in Doxey Marshes nature reserve have failed to keep most of the water from freezing. Some can be seen standing up but others just seem to be sitting and sulking! The main West Coast railway line's overhead pylons can just be made out in the distance with Doxey village beyond.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking across the nature reserve towards the mainline railway and Doxey. On a bitterly cold winter afternoon the pond is largely frozen over despite the movement of large numbers of Canada geese - some of which were skating around quite comically.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking down the side of the marsh from a viewing platform by one of the ponds. The trees on the left are in the gardens along Eccleshall road and the old town cemetery is in the distance.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A forlorn fishing platform looks out onto the frozen pond on a bitterly cold afternoon. The temptation to throw sticks and stones onto the ice has as ever proved too great for local children! The trees and houses on the skyline are those along Eccleshall Road.
