Early start and always a sucker for a nice sunrise

It would be great to have a double meaning in my title, but due to declining weather, I had no time to look for any 'Starts'.

But I was out rather early, enough to see a Barn Owl perched on the Alder in between the river junction, before it went off over the long grass on what will become Sandford Farm Country park.

It was barely light enough to see out across the landfill, but a pair of Shelduck had clearly roosted on the small raft in front of Ron's hide.



The clouds were gathering quickly. but the sky was obviously clear far to the East, as the sunrise was a bit nice over London and it changed from light pinkish to vivid purple and molten lava and gold.






Turning my attention to the birds, the Shelduck got off the raft and shortly after 4 Little Egret flew in, resting only for a few moments before heading toward DP.



Marek arrived and it was time for me to go, just catching a glimpse of 1 Sand Martin gunning it over North.
