The south of England was covered in a layer of mist for most of today. And the temperature dropped back down to around freezing again. Not ideal weather for driving, but I made good time and I'd arrived in Surrey with 20 minutes or so to spare. Enough time to attempt some photos. There were some gulls dicing with the frozen lake.

The ducks, on the other hand, had congregated in a slightly less barren spot.

While the coots and the geese were remaining firmly on dry land.

It was still misty when I left Surrey at lunchtime, but the southern end of the Downs seemed to have escaped the poor weather, and I got back to find Sussex enjoying a weak wintry sun.

On garden matters, the nicked-ear vixen showed up tonight, saw me… and vanished in a flash! But not the flash of a camera. She was far too quick for that. So her sudden intolerance of humans continues, which is possibly no bad thing if she's pregnant. It will be interesting to see if things change around March which is when cubs are likely to be born. We'll have to wait and see.
