Was the above taken in the Fens anywhere near Holbeach/Spalding? If so, I have relatives on my mothers side who live in the locality, who have developed huge feet (webbed of course) in order to keep them from sinking in the mud when picking potatoes.

Hi Red, could the two ice spots in the middle be the compacted heel & toe of a large foot (size 11?), the outer lines could just be outer tennis racket style snow shoe marks?

Or it is Harry Henderson!

It's a very rare sighting of the greater Wayland.

No snow there guys - the print is impressed in inch thick ice!

Are those tractor tyre marks to the top left or caterpillar tracks? Is this print on a slight slope, your foot pointing up hill?

They are Tractor tread lines on the top.

Hill? This is Lincolnshire - we don't have hills :)

This time of year I wish I lived somewhere flat :)
Is it a print from a tractor hydraulic support leg thingamy?
God! I should be concentrating on getting some marking done, but this is sooo much more fun :) thanks for the distraction.

It's receding ice I'd say, the two patches are the actual print and the rest has melted away.

It is receding ice - its actually a tractor wheel print where it crashed through the ice into a hole below and then re-froze - made me do a double take though!
