A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Winter Explorer competition. You proved that winter is not ‘empty’ at all – it’s full of clues, if you know how to look.

Here are our four winners!

Wintery clues: 

1. The frosty grass making the cold ground white

Highly Commented

Morgan Thyer, age 10, St Columb Major, Cornwall

Winter Pigeons on the Windowsill 

"We are very happy to announce that we have a new born pigeon on our windowsill just over a week old. Photographed with its mummy 'Mertle'. The baby will be named when it reveals its special markings. It is so lovely to see that pigeons have babies all year round. And that this little one has survived through all the storms and rain we have had recently."

The other photo is of 'Angel' , a very special white pigeon with black markings.
