A bright but very cold day today, barely scraping above 0\u00b0C and it was probably slightly below that when I took this shot of the sunrise.

Surprisingly the pond has only a shimmering of ice near the fringes, which is keeping the ducks happy.

And the ever-present jackdaws were also enjoying the winter sunshine (and a stylish new hair-do).

The prettiest shots of the day were the goldfinches, which were flitting between the hedgerow and trees surrounding the pond.

One last shot (not of a pair) to make up for yesterday's absence. Another pony. Equally as pretty and once again sporting a lovely shaggy coat to keep out the cold.
