There's snow business like snow business...

The Wales Nature inbox has been overflowing lately so thanks very much for all your amazing photos of the recent snow and ice!

Apologies if they don't all get shown but don't worry - I do pass on the best ones to Derek for his TV weather backgrounds.

Here are a few recent pics I've chosen which cover a wide range of topics - from snowmen to wildlife and lovely crisp landscapes.

Here we have our first 'snow teddy' - I had no idea they actually existed until Michael Sherlock sent in this one in which he saw lurking outside the Drovers Arms in Rhewl near Denbigh:

You know it's cold when the snow meets the sea. This lovely shot of an icy shoreline at Llangennith beach, Gower comes from Phillippa Davies:

Pat Weaver sent in this shot of ice floating in the River Severn at Garthmyl, Montgomeryshire:

It's been nice to see lapwings out and about in the fields and I've been fortunate enough to see a flock regularly appearing in the school playing fields near my house. Keep your eyes peeled. 

Keith Jones has been busy photographing wildlife including herons, bullfinches and lapwings. He snapped this lapwing at Southerndown beach in the Vale of Glamorgan:

And finally my award for 'best robin composition shot' goes to Morten Hanasand who sent this in to our Flickr group:

That's it for now. Keep the wildlife photos coming in. 

I'm particularly keen to see more bullfinches...they must be out there somewhere and being bright pink (males), must be finding it fairly difficult to hide!
