I had to get out of bed early this morning to attend to something not bird related. However, once that was done I was aware of the shadow of the night slowly lifting, and decided to walk the dog at dawn. I'm glad I did. Quite magical with the dawn chorus from blackbirds and robins. Geese flying overhead in large formations also in good voice. A buzzard glides to rest in the tall conifers. Shallow mists, a slight frost and a pink sky to add to the drama. I thought about those at home in bed, oblivious to the happenings out here. So much activity at this early hour. All this seen from the solitude of an empty golf course. I have the alarm clock set for tomorrow morning!
