A short sequence of a cormorant at Falmer, just after sunrise this morning. The pond was part-frozen, but one section was clear of ice and the low sun lit the scene perfectly as it rose over the South Downs.
In the other corner, the outlook was altogether more bleak.

Just a few shots today, from Seven Sisters: a cormorant, a grey heron, and a little egret:

And a little egret flies by
Plus three busy rats over at Falmer
The temperature has fallen away and is hovering just above freezing, so nothing from the garden tonight.

Torrential rain this morning. Really not very good for taking photos and these were all shot from the shelter of the car. And of course it was pretty dark too, but the cormorants didn’t seem to mind.

Later in the day the sun finally emerged.

And so did a rat 😉
Things look just a little brighter for next week.
