Morning Glory

Early mornings in Norfolk are great. If you can be out before the early dog walkers you can find some true gold. Much like these Golden Plover at rest with a few Lapwings. The sun was just starting to rise and the light was a nice orangey gold. I've said it many times, but this really is my favourite time of the day. When it's just me and nature, it feels like it belongs to me. Only I am seeing it at that time, and it feels special. Just need a few more of them to be bright like this, and not cloudy. Here are a few pictures of what I saw.

    I know exactly what you mean by you owning what you see early, early in the day. I miss those times tremendously. Your photos are wonderful.

    I love the Godwit and all of the shore birds. It's nice to be able to get out early. Enjoy your holiday weekend! I'll keep the Jeep ready for when you visit! ; )

    I think you hit the nail on the head - " It feels like it belongs to me."

    We could do a poll of birders and find out the earliest time they had seen people out with dogs. My own feeling is that it would be 12 30 am, or certainly an hour before dawn at any time of the year. They are a bloody nuisance.

    Godwits look so unique and free spirit on the beach

    A Godwit seems like a fitting bird to see during Christmas. Happy Holidays!
