Although the thaw is under way, there was plenty of snow on the ground at Falmer Pond today. Here are a few shots, starting with the scene early this morning.

I even spotted the piebald jackdaw hopping around.

It had brightened up a touch by lunchtime, and the ducks were to the fore.

The black-headed gulls were also enjoying themselves.
<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, the moorhens were slipping and sliding through the covering of slush over the pond.

The final shot today doesn't feature any of the snow. It's a lone blue tit hanging on the the side of the church clock tower. A simple, minimalist shot; but I like it.
