Warning, more sunrise photos.....
A nice sunrise over the reedbed
The low angle of the sunrise gave the traditional orange glow along the path, casting its orange glow on the shrubs either side.
And the haw berries
Taking a wander toward the wooded area, Mrs (or Miss) Stonechat came to check me out
I think this is a clouded agaric mushroom. Any corrections gratefully appreciated.

only to turn around and land on the post...

It does, and you're welcome.
At first I didn't think it was a stonechat, with all the noise from nearby robins and accounting for the low angle of sunlight casting an orange glow, coupled with the fact stonechats have not been seen on that part of the reserve.

Thank you SM.
Goosander, also known as sawbill family, because of the serrated edges of their beaks, seem to be more prevalent close to salt water environments. Also of the same group are mergansers, of which I've only ever seen one inland, the rest have been coastal.
I'm sure some of that will require correction, and as always, I welcome correction.
