The rain has barely paused today… but for wildlife there is little escape. The photos of teh gull, the cormorant and the swan were taken early this morning in fine but very persistent rain at Seven Sisters. The trail cam footage is from a couple of nights ago in the garden, when we had a bit of a downpour. The badger seems to be quite unconcerned about it.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.
A nice simple post today. Seen at lunchtime at Falmer, the sun shining, a cormorant out-gunning all the gulls and ducks on the pond in its effort to make the biggest splash.

It’s really done little else but rain today. It was raining when I took this photo of the local cormorant:
And it was raining when I snapped these ducks in the road which was partly flooded.
There was the briefest break in the weather when I got this shot of a buzzard sweeping low over the fields.
And after a brief but major downpour it all eased off again to get this shot taken through the strangely lit gloom.
