The sun is shining. Chelsea are playing on Sunday. So Saturday afternoon looked good for roaming out on the Downs, camera at the ready.<\/p>\n<p>And so it was&#8230; until the clouds rolled in, the sky darkened, and a few drops of rain began to fall. I&#39;d wandered almost a mile into the valley, having grabbed just a couple of quick shots on my way to one of the better kestrel hunting grounds, when the rain began in earnest.
