The Lake is thawing

 

A visit to Ferrymoor yesterday and the lake is finally starting to thaw out.  The birds are now starting to get to the water through the ice.  There were many birds about especially near the feeder including Blackbird Male, Great Tit, Robin and Dunnock. A Grey Heron was perched in a tree opposite the beach. "Beach" it is really an area beside the lake that becomes very dusty when dry but now it is more like a mud bath. There are a few Muscovy Ducks about one actually came right up to me and brushed against my trouser leg.
