We're currently enjoying a phase when the moon sets after dawn, and this morning there was an added treat when a plane flew into close alignment.

That apart, there was little unusual happening at the pond although this squirrel appears to be in early preparation for Christmas. It just needs a touch of snow. :smurf:

The heron was pacing in the shallows during the warm morning light.

By lunchtime the light had cooled, and the day was bright but overcast. The white goose was busy thrashing around in an exhibition of avian power.
