Sundog at dawn

We haven’t seen the sun for a number of days but the vistas have been spectacular as cold humid air coated everything with white (pictures to follow).  Then this morning the sun rose to clear skies and celebrated with bonus colour!

Crystals in the air danced through the vertical bands of colour.

Count me in

This mallard must have missed his flight south.  He will be counted in our annual Christmas bird count this week end.
