Snipe, Teal and Mallard on Endon Brook and Deep Hayes Country Park this morning.

Today started calm, cold and frosty and with a wonderful sky.



Walking along the disused railway where it passes over Endon Brook we disturbed a Snipe, four Teal and two or three Mallards which had gone by the time I got my camera out.
