Autumn sunrise

The early mornings just recently have started to feel more autumnal. My hat has been on, as the temperatures at first light have been decidedly cooler. When the sun is coming up though, it does give some amazing orange light, as the first picture below shows at Church Lane, Woodford.
Birds are getting ready to leave these shores and others are moving in great numbers, like our geese.

First light in Woodford. The four white marks in the sky on the right hand side are actually planes on the same flight path.

Local Canada Geese off on their way.

These Swallows will soon be off to Africa for the winter. I'll miss these little fellas.
