Frosty start

My son was awake at 06:00 again today, so we were all up and eating toast by 06:30 and I was at LFGP hide by 06:50. The early morning mist clung to the lake as the sun came up and I took a few shots. About 20 Teal were just about visible in the SW corner. I headed for BSL and then the car park field, where the grass had a crisp frost. 4-5 male and 3-4 female Blackcap chased each other in the large Hawthorn, I heard but never saw a Mistle Thrush. Moving to the bottom of the field to look over the landfill, 11 Meadow Pipit mobbed a Kestrel perched on one of the vents, 7 of them then moved to the wires next to the farm to warm themselves in the rising sun, a Chiffchaff joined them for a minute.
