It was bitterly cold when I went out this morning for a very early stroll to watch the sun rise down Gills Lane.
Well worth the effort, I felt.
The warm colours of the early morning sun made the hedgerows really golden and shiny.
Among the birds seen were a few Magpies and a lone Curlew that bubbled away as it rose in the air
This Wren was wonderfully camouflaged in the bushes but gave itself away by its loud and cheerful song.
