The brief break in the weather has ended. More rain today, and forecast for tomorrow. It was not too bad early today, which is when I took these four shots of one of the local rats down at Falmer Pond.

    They are using hands like humans 😀 It seems that most of the rodents do that.

      Darko, I love their hands. So tiny, but they make such good use of them.
