A Winters Walk
The last few days have been pretty cold and I’ve kept myself in the warm not really wanting to brave the weather. However, today was so nice, with the frost and clear skies, that I was persaded to venture out.
So, after a brief thought on where to go, I headed off to Frensham Ponds all wrapped up in my outdoor gear. As it happened, it wasn’t quite as cold as I expected so it was very pleasant.
The pond was frozen though, thick enough for a some ‘mad’ people to go an walk on it. It did actually hold their weight.
So what did I see. Well, I saw a few Robins of course.
and the back of a Jay as it flew away. I also saw a couple of Bullfinches, which is quite rare these day and I was lucky enough to find a Gold Crest. Being europes smallest bird, they are very difficult to see and even more difficult to photograph!
It was a lovely day to walk around the ponds and I was glad I made the effort
At the end of the walk, the sun was really warming up the sky, and I was very pleased with this image!
