Nature Diary... Early in the morning

A morning of stillness and a hint of a sunrise. The birds had been out early looking for food and on the sea two brave chaps were sailing in a little dingy. A couple of minutes later a fishing boat was heading inland after a night of fishing, all the equipment neatly reattached to the craft. 
After the hesitant promise of the sunrise the day was pleasant but very chilly. Thankfully though there was no ice on the garden ponds or on the bird bath today.
