    There wasn’t much about in the park today, but who’s complaining?

    The sun was the star of our walk around the park this morning; although it was a very cold day it was a joy to feel its rays.

    Very few leaves but still lots of colour

    A dramatic range of light

    The tawny owl was visible in its box on the island in the middle of the lake but its features were not too easy to see. The cormorants in the trees were clearly enjoying the sun too.

    A grey heron looked quite dramatic too in the sun; it seemed more intent on posing and showed little interest in feeding.

    Perhaps it was on sentry duty?

    Even the black-headed gulls looked attractive in the sun

    They looked demure …

    … and then wanted to show off.

    However, we felt the best poser was the robin. No surprise there, then.
