Sunday...

Very heavy rain here today but it obliging stopped for most of the time I was out for a walk. I walked to the nearby nature reserve & was lucky enough to spot this distant red squirrel in the gloom. 

I also saw two more birds that I rarely see now - tree sparrows & a marsh tit - extras. I haven't been to the Hauxley reserve for a long time, but I have a memory of calling one hide the 'rat' hide. It was still the same today, completely over run with them & they were showing just how well they can climb...not for me though.

It poured down for half the walk back & then a quick supermarket trip before deciding to go no further as the roads are quite flooded.
