Very Quick Round up

Heading out for a walk

Very dull grey, grey and relatively-mild, to start the month.

Little Egret

 |
Starlings and a crow
|
 |
Faraway Cranes feeding in the gloom
|
Now seemingly-commonplace, bright Egrets (Great white, Little and Cattle) drew the eye on dull days.

I popped in to make some close sketches of the cranes at Pensthorpe, and enjoyed watching the social behaviour of the Flamingo flock as I did so.
 |
The most delicate legs
|
Rambles to the beach at sunset and dusk were greatly rewarding.
 |
Gulls flying in to roost
|
Pink-footed Geese seemed low in numbers at the coast; although one night, I heard them flying over.
Brent Geese were also gladly observed.

Pears ripened, and so I made my traditional pear crumble. No Catillac pears were available, and my Doyenne du Comice tree is still immature, but I fortunately found a Comice glut which I fully exploited.
A thin layer of frost greeted me on the 18th. A very cold clear night on the 19th gave me a sharp view of Orion rising in the south east, wonderful to see again, and the Plough bright in the north.
The 20th brought snow, the first it seemed for a long time -- I can't remember any snow from 2023.
