Temperatures plummeted over the weekend and it really started to feel like autumn.
But while many of us stayed cosy inside, Argus Camera Club member Glynn Rubidge decided to make the most of a peaceful Sunday morning by exploring Widewater Lagoon in Lancing.
He took his camera out at first light and captured some marvellous photographs of the birds that make the lagoon their home.
Glynn spotted an elegant egret wading in the still water and its reflection.
He also snapped a kingfisher taking shelter from the cold of the morning and a hardy stonechat perched on a thistle.
The lagoon coastal nature reserve is described by the RSPB as one of Lancing’s "hidden treasures".

A spokesman for Adur District Council said: "Widewater Lagoon is an area of brackish water landlocked by a man-made shingle bank.
"It is home to herons, swans, geese, cormorants, kingfishers, gulls and many other wildfowl."
As well as close-ups of birds, Glynn also snapped the beautiful scenery of the lagoon.
He captured the waves crashing against the shore as the orange sun rose and shone through the clouds.
Glynn took some impressive action shots of the resident mute swans there, including one of a majestic adult bird shaking its wings.
