Capture in the morning sun

A frosty walk down to the pond this morning but at least I had a little sun on my back,the feeding station was quite busy but most pleasing of all was the increase in Tree sparrow numbers counting up to twelve on my walk down to the public hide.Curlew were next to catch my eye up to twenty off to my right in the flooded field and twelve to my left in the sheep field ,nothing of any note from the hide other than a pair of Canada Geese eying up the island as a poss nesting site.
At the members hide there was one lone Cormorant drying of on the wooden stakes and just as I was closing the shutters two Shellduck landed further down the pond to my right,the highlight of the morning came just as I approached the metal gate to leave the reserve this Kestrel flew onto the old post with his/her breakfast (I only managed one shot).
