The best of the day

As I write this, the rain is coming down in stair rods. I had to go out this morning on an errand which took me up the valley, so afterwards I had a bit of a walk. It was dull and intermittently drizzly, and most of the wildlife had stayed at home. I did see a clan of nuthatchlings in the treetops, but they were far too tricky to capture,. Looking outside now, I realise I had the best of the day.
