Rain, Rain and more Rain

It has finally stopped raining after about sixteen hours. Early this morning I saw the Blue Tit dive in the nest box for a short while for a bit of shelter.

As usual when we have prolonged rain my back lawn starts to disappear under water as it is lower than some of the surrounding land. The birds which feed on the lawn have had to go paddling to find any seed left over from yesterday. There were the usual Pigeons, Collared Doves, Sparrows and Chaffinches.

One of the Collared Doves which spent a while looking for food.
