Another icy cold day

Clear skies and smoking chimneys

Bit cold in the garage today. Even the calendar girl had put
a jumper on by dinner time.

Car sales seem a bit on the quiet side.

Another sub zero day with clear blue skies and some sunshine though not much thawing took place.
A good start off to the morning with 4 Golden Plover doing a circuit overhead then off >SE towards Jackson Hill.
Several LBB gulls went over early doors >NW and one very high bird could easily have been a Gt Black Backed but with no optical aid couldnt be sure. A single Heron circled over Station Rd pond but then moved off >E, probably seeing the pond frozen.
Just walked the dogs and it seemed a bit milder tonight with fine snow coming down so hopefully things will slowly improve and we can get back to normal, fog and rain!
