Anita and Keith Martin (borsuk) > It is hard to believe that abstract art ever gets much better than this scarred bark on Crane Park Island.

Anita and Keith Martin (borsuk) > The most robust of last season's nests are glaringly apparent in January.

Anita and Keith Martin (borsuk) > The sunlit green bark and tangled branches clearly identify an Oak, even in January one of the Crane's most distinctive and distinguished trees.

Anita and Keith Martin (borsuk) > Crimson is an astonishing wild colour for the month of January. These lower leaves are all that is showing in January of a Herb Robert on a meadow on Crane Park Island.

Anita and Keith Martin (borsuk) > Kneller Gardens has a magnificent stand of willows whose needle-like branches look at their most dramatic against a heavy January sky.

Anita and Keith Martin (borsuk) > Flocks of starlings are common winter sights on the Craneford Playing Fields.

Anita and Keith Martin (borsuk) > There are fewer places to hide on a January afternoon, when a Red Fox eyes the camera suspiciously from the Crane Park Island reeds.
