Brightness and an egret

Strong hints of brightness in Dublin at 06.20 today and then at 06.40 it seemed to be galloping towards full daylight.

Though cold today, these mornings have a fabulous sensation about them.

And guess what's to be seen in Dartry Park, an egret. It has the shape and style of a heron but far smaller and spectacularly white in colour. A dainty elegant bird.
