Wet Wednesday

Rainy day long-tailed tit

Of course, the day one of the goldcrests decides to feed ten feet away from the living room window there's a sheet of water running down the glass making it impossible to get any photos. The rain had eased a little (but only a little) when the long-tailed tits came in so I gave it a try, with not much success.

Through a wet living room window
  • Black-headed Gull 3 overhead
  • Blackbird 1
  • Blue Tit 3
  • Carrion Crow 1
  • Collared Dove 2
  • Feral Pigeon 2
  • Goldcrest 1
  • Goldfinch 1
  • Great Tit 3
  • House Sparrow 21
  • Long-tailed Tit 8
  • Magpie 1
  • Robin 1
  • Starling 6
  • Woodpigeon 1

I had thought that the rain of the past couple of days would have had hordes of gulls on the school playing field stamping for worms but there wasn't a single one on there, just a couple of carrion crows looking very gloomy. The floodgates at Sale Water Park have had to be opened today, I wonder if all the gulls have floated down there to see what's been washed up on the fields.
