Early sunshine tempted us to our local park even though we knew we would have to contend with the weekend crowds. It turned out to be much colder than we anticipated, the sun disappeared and it turned to rain. There were lots of people out and so we were pleased to spend time in the woods looking for birds. We were well rewarded with a pair of nuthatches.

On the lake there was a pair of grey wagtails too but the light proved very testing.

When we got home the weather improved and we had our coffee in the garden in the sun.
