A cold day with some hazy sunshine this afternoon with a temperature of 3° C as I walked round the Coppice Pond on the St Ives estate near Bingley. Here it was good to see a Little Grebe and a Jay, some of the water was frozen with BH Gulls gathered on it, others seen were Mute Swans, Moorhen and Robin.
