An absolute washout of a day, but at least the rain stopped around 3:00pm, so it was a quick walk around the block to see what if anything was about.
Not too many birds about, most were heading off to their respective roosts, but I did come across 17 Meadow Pipits in the Lower Horse paddock and 11 Goldfinches over Bumpers Lane.
Not much today:
The clouds gather again out in the English Channel.
One very muddy dog, but Ted seems to be enjoying himself.
