Common People - Pulp

 Chill, Still and not much of a Thrill once again we are consigned to what we could find, highlighted by today's headline! However, once that 

Current Bun
starts to clip the horizen, clearing the overnight frost, it's all systems go!
Mist on the River Stour provided its own charm while we watched both
HERRING GULLs
and
ROOKs
alike trying to sustain themselves, in the neigbouring horse paddock, for another day.
Heading south a
MERLIN
of the none Avian kind clattered overhead while again, across more horse paddocks,
we found the first signs of
SPRING
as a few among the crowd of feeding
BLACK-HEADED GULLs
were already showing traces of their dark top-knots.
A small representation of
HOUSE SPARROW
which must amout to 1 or 200 across the board here with more numerous
WOOD PIGEON
soaking up the first rays of the day.
Further north it was aparent that the Irrigation Pond had been abandoned by the
WATERFOWL
as part frozen but not so the
Gravel Pit
where
a few
GADWALL
and
TEAL
male with female above still remain but no signs of the Little Grebes on the day.
