First frost on the lower meadow
Two herons below the weir and the kingfisher back on its branch.
Counting at the weir
Eleven herons, one little egret and the usual crowd of coots.
Second-hand binoculars, one year later
Peeling armour, a shoelace strap and still perfectly clear glass.
Visiting the old heronry
Fourteen nests in the poplars by the gravel pits this year.
