WATER BIRDS SHARING THE WINTER SUNSHINE

It was very cold the other morning, minus two degrees at eight o'clock and the ground was thickly covered in frost. It was beautiful.

The sun, low in the sky, was beginning to warm the open patches between the trees.
There is a weir on the Kilmore Creek which holds back the water to and allows it spread out into a small reservoir. There are always a number of water birds gathered here, some foraging for something to eat, some preening and others just soaking up the sun. It is a lovely place to walk past.
