More rain ....

Not sure whether this can be viewed very well?  It was early on Sunday morning, wet and very grey.  The bird is not a seagull, but an heron perched on our neighbours roof.  It hung around for quite a while and was very bedraggled and no doubt very hungry as, yet again, we have had hours of torrential rain.  I had noticed a lack of fish several days earlier so perhaps they have been eaten.  The following morning we had two herons circling the garden and dell.  They may be young ones I suspect?

Yesterday the stream rose and broke its banks on the opposite side to the house and stayed like that for most of the morning.  At least we do not seem to have as much debris as the last time it happened.
