After a period with sub-zero temperatures the broad has frozen over, with only a few narrow channels of open water left. Mallards, coots and swans have gathered in the small area of open water by the car park on the broad's northern edge (seen in the foreground). Dinghies and sailing boats can be seen by the clubhouse on the broad's eastern shore.
