Frost.......
A crisp morning with actual ice on the windscreen of the van, and frost on the ground on the reserve must mean its winter?
Arriving at just before 07:30hrs, to the sun just peeking over the horizon the first bird I saw as I drove across the reserve was the ♂ Merlin, typically the light was all wrong and despite the bird being very obliging it didn't wait for me to position the van properly.
This was the best of an in car photo I could muster.

The bird then flew and landed on the far side of the field sat on what is becoming a favourite post.
A quite uneventful walk out to the beach was followed by an equally uneventful walk east along the beach, although finding a James Bond style speed boat, albeit old battered and without an engine, was a surprise.
I guess it can't be allowed to stay there, or to float away on the next high tides, (its safe for now) so it becomes another job!!
For those of you with absolutely nothing better to do on Monday night (7th Nov), I'm giving a talk on Bird Ringing, at the Llanelli Naturalists Society meeting in Llanerch Community Hall, at 7:30pm, see Llanelli naturalists society website for directions.
