Winter dawn at Watatunga

Sunday 2nd February

Winter dawn photography tour at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve, Sunday 2nd February.

Partly a reconnaissance mission, partly an inspiration-gathering trip.



Pere David's deer



Clear, still skies meant for perfect conditions for a winter dawn. I left home under the stars, but a shepherd's warning red sunrise accompanied me via my rearview mirrors as I drove across the brecks to west Norfolk.


 

Greylag geese



Greylag geese flew over and a Song Thrush sang (my first singing of this year) when I parked up.

The sun rose free of the horizon as we were driven round the reserve, lighting up the mist: perfect for photography.
