Elusive end of January sun

The week's cloudy skies finally subsided last night and we were afforded some January sun today which provided some vibrant views around Squabmoor Reservoir this morning. I was pleased to see tufted ducks (~5) that I've not seen for some time, sharing this generous plain of water with mallards (~8) and moorhens (~3).

The moorhens swam just close enough for some nicely lit shots

No unexpected visitors to the garden today for the Big Garden Birdwatch but pleased to have done this today with the better weather.
