However, the Ock Valley Walk was very scenic
.
The Lower Ock had even frozen in places:

And a pleasant surprise of two muntjac deer near the town centre.

And if the snow persists it will be interesting to see what footprints have been left by the animals who have been struggling even more than the local transport system.
The Abingdon blog has more photos of the snow
I spotted what I think were Otter footprints in the snow beneath the bridge along the Ock Valley Walk - be interesting to see if you can verify they are Otter prints.
ReplyDeleteThat's very interesting, did you get a picture of the footprints?
ReplyDeleteI shall be walking that way tomorrow so I'll keep an eye out to see what I can find.
Thanks for letting me know
Ooo - muntjacs! We had them at the zoo where I used to work. This is the first account of them "in the wild" I've seen. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHi Ellen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment - Muntjacs are now quite common in this part of the UK.
They're not native as they escaped from captivity early in the 19th Century. Like a lot of none native animals, they are quite controversial, but I like them.
