Eastbrookend Country Park

Spent a few hours walking around BARDAG Lake today at Eastbrookend CP. It was really quite pleasant the sun was shining and even though the temperature was just below freezing it didn't feel cold. It is also brilliant the way a layering of snow can change the look of a site you know well. There was only a handful of people about too.

Amazing with most of thelake frozen this pair of Great Crested Grebes were doing a short mating ritual!

Quite a few Redwings around along with Blackbird and Song Thrush

Another or the same Grey Heron flys by

At last a Water Rail bit distant and walking away from me, but after about three hours I found one!
