There was thick fog when I left home this morning, and a fair mist when I came home again this evening. Thankfully the middle bit of the day was a slight improvement, with even a hint of sunshine (quickly followed by a shower) appearing at lunchtime.
The pond was relatively quiet. There are very few gulls in residence at the moment, but I have heard that a cormorant is lurking on the small island. I'll keep my eyes peeled. For the rest, it's a scattering of ducks, greylag geese and rails (moorhens mainly).
At the edge of the pond…
On the grass…
And finally, on the water….
