Sunday

We had rain.  Real rain.  And even what I would describe as a downpour at one stage.  So lovely.  The air smelled good.

And here are the h-birds fueling up before bed.  I was wondering about their ability to fly in heavy rain - which they clearly can - but those heavy drops would seem to surely batter them, is it because they're so fast that they are able to get through?

When there's no space at the feeder things can get feisty and they will peck someone to get them to clear off.
