I have the same walk when the water is cold…

A male goldeneye duck swimming on calm water. The duck has a distinctive black head with a green shimmer with a large white cheek patch and bright yellow eyes. The body is mostly white with black wings and back. the water around the duck is calm and reflective.
Goldeneyes occur in my area only during the winter, when the light is often dull. Even when the sun is shining, their heads often just appear black, without that beautiful green shimmer. #BirdOfTheDay #PerfectLighting

Two brown lizards perched side by side on a tree trunk. They have a brown back and dark brown flanks with two rows of brown spots. The tails of both disappear into a gap in the wood.
They enjoyed today’s sunshine as much as I did

The image shows a group of four very young downy swimming in a body of water. The ducklings are close together, with three of them huddled side by side and one slightly separated to the right. The water is calm
