By Sunday lunch time I thought I had today’s blog post sorted out. It’s a while since we had any Long Tailed Tits visiting the garden but over the last couple of day’s they've made brief visits to our fat balls. Doesn’t that sound awful. Anyhow here are a couple of pictures I managed to get.
At one stage we had eight or nine feeding and squabbling over the fat balls but it’s a bit difficult to get a picture in focus of them all feeding . Up to the middle of the afternoon the weather had been fine, mild again but with a bit more cloud that yesterday but not too bad at all. Then in the middle of the afternoon it changed dramatically. Thunder, lighting, hail and torrential rain arrived.
The rain came at a torrential rate for a few minutes, measuring at 138mm/hour or looked at another way all August’s rainfall in just 20 minutes. Fortunately it didn't last too long! In the end we finished up with 24.4mm moving Sunday into 5th place in the wettest day records.
Did I mention that the soil was drying out a little on the plot?
