Not as cold as expected

Mid morning quick visit to LFGP the paths had thawed slightly, proving the temperature did rise slightly since last night, the visit produced 1 Golden Plover amongst the 360+ Lapwing, 2 Meadow Pipit briefly at the lake edge, 100+ Teal, 150+ Wigeon, 1 m Goldeneye, then as myself and Alan went to leave 2 Skylark over West, prompting Alan to say he had heard 2 before today, either way the park now on 79, me 78.
