Heron in the mud

Thanks to Cailleach for the fun of Wild Wednesday which I almost always forget. Not today though on its 400th birthday. 

It's so cold that, although the four year old brought her swimming stuff, we've given the pool a miss. There's even been a tiny bit of snow falling and the frost isn't lifting in the shade.

 I was lucky to see the resident heron on the far bank of the river this morning. The tide was quite low and that's good for exposing the textured mud. Must be cold in the water. 

I'll be doing yoga later then I have a lot of prep to do for a meeting tomorrow night.
