The Shags and Mt Iron

Yesterday I noticed that the shags were no longer roosting on the tree in the lake.  This morning when I went out first thing, I found them in a tree further along the lake.  I was hoping the clouds would colour, but no luck today.  I have been waiting all day for the snow, which didn't arrive, but a load of dry firewood came, and here we are (extra No. 1) stacking it in the woodshed.  The other extra is the view from my front lawn, looking over the roof of my house to the mountains beyond.  We have had a few snowflakes, but nothing to speak of.  For all NZ blippers keep warm.
