Gazette Camera Club's December collection

Having already witnessed a day of snow, albeit very little, the icy conditions have allowed talented photographers from across north east Essex to take some wintry pictures.

From foxes skulking in the night to goats enjoying the cold and frosty mornings, this week's round up has it all.
