Icy but sunny conditions over the last couple of mornings.
This morning there was a Little Egret in the stream that runs along the 2nd on the Blue. These small white herons are more familiar on the Continent, where they are very frequent along any sort of water. They are relatively new additions to Britain - they were quite rare before 1990, but are now fairly common and you will usually see one if you go to Farmoor reservoir. I have seen them occasionally at Frilford - usually on the first three holes on the Blue course. They are striking but dainty birds. They also have characteristic yellow feet, as you can see from the second photo.
