Standing in the Rain

It’s ok for this fellow to stand smiling in the rain, but not quite so much fun for the rest of us.

The forecast for tomorrow is mixed, but then we should be getting a dry spell; cold, but dry (which is fine by me)

Cormorant Makes a Splash

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.

A Grey Wet Day

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.
