The loch had some ice around the sides which had been broken up by the park rangers to prevent people trying to walk on it.

It was great to get out into the wonderful sunshine as we have not had much of it for a few weeks. It was a bit slippy underfoot but we had taken our ice grippers with us - the ones which attach onto the soles of shoes. These were very good and stopped us slipping.

Further round at the 'beach' there were some more birds. Many birds congregate here because there is a car parking and children's play area so it is a usually a busy place.

After our walk we went to the boathouse to build a nesting box for the birds. The park rangers were organising this and all the equipment was provided for us. We made a Blue-tit and a Robin nesting boxes.
