Just one proper photo from what proved to be a literal wash-out of a day. The rain has been falling for most of it, the ground is sodden but this was taken just as the gloom was beginning to set in early this morning.
I suppose these are proper photos as well, but it takes scarcely any effort to get them. A couple of a sodden Shutterbug stalking around the fringe of the garden pond this evening.
And that's about it. The foxes and badgers are still jockeying for custody of the peanuts every night. The foxes outnumber the badgers, but the badgers tend to be pushier, and much harder to shift. Especially when they do come out in pairs.
Camera note: stonechat taken with the the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. Fox shots taken with EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens. Video from the Bushnell Trophy Cam.

12 Oct 2012You should mount one of those hand-driers that one finds in public loos, Words … the local beasties could come in for a bit of a dry-off.

13 Oct 2012Ouch. Here it rains a lot at the moment, they've said it will be more than 150 liter per square meter for weekend :left:
Shutterbug is wet but he don't seems to mind too much 😀

16 Oct 2012I think it would take a month of 30c to dry out the ground after the autumn we've had so far. It's nice today here, but still so sodden.
Good to see the stonechat! 🙂

18 Oct 2012Adele, the wet ground is a real pain. Too many areas are little more than mud at the moment. A dry spell would be good.

18 Oct 2012dW, everywhere is sodden at the moment. A hand-drier wouldn't touch it!

18 Oct 2012Darko, I hope your weather improves! The foxes are very resilient, and reasonably stoic about the weather.
