9th - 13th January - The Moon is Not Only Cold

During the week commencing the 9^th January, the Tawny owls have continued to call in the early hours of the morning.  Earlier in the week I noticed that the female pied wagtail was beginning to get her tail feathers back.  On the morning of the 13^th it was clear that she had managed to grow about half of her tail back, and she was bobbing it quite proudly in the morning sunshine.

Helen called me just after 8.00 to tell me that I had to look at the moon that was still out.  In the same sunshine the Pied Wagtail was enjoying the moon was picked out superbly allowing a great opportunity to photograph it in the glow of the rising January sun.
