FROSTY MORNING

Thursday 29 Dec
I had a quick visit to Stanton park this morning, before visitors arrived.  The lake was frozen in the centre, whilst mallards and swans collected at the edges. Usual visitors to the bird tables, and a somewhat fierce looking robin on the frosted branch whilst another sang happily where it had thawed.
