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 shownÌýbut 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 inÌýwhich he saw lurking outside the Drovers Arms in Rhewl nearÌýDenbigh:Ìý

You know it's cold when theÌýsnow meets the sea. This lovelyÌýshot of an icy shorelineÌýat Llangennith beach, GowerÌýcomes 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.ÌýKeep your eyes peeled.Ìý

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

And finally my award for 'best robin compositionÌýshot' goes to Morten HanasandÌýwho sent this in to our Flickr group:

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

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