Woke up to the first proper frost of the winter (I say proper, as we had one freaky, frosty morning around early September). It was a lovely scene, looking over to the river, with everything frosted in white and bathed in early-morning mist. Took a trip over to Maxwell Park in the afternoon. The pond is full of Moorhens (around 45!) and Mallards (around 25, including a leucistic female). There are also 2 Mute Swans (I wonder if they will winter) and the usual 2 Little Grebes (very confiding and noisy today). The recent winds have brought most of the leaves down, and the grass is covered with a thick, soggy carpet of them. Great for walking through...!
