Bedraggled

It started raining over 40 hours ago.  The birds have been taking refuge on the deck under cover and even the Kingfisher looks miserable.

    It ain't easy being a bird!!! Great photos! I've always wanted to see a Kingfisher! He looks so annoyed and humiliated by the rain, doesn't he?
    Hope you're tucked away, safe & dry!

    It really must be raining. It's washed all the colour from the Kingfisher...........Real rain that is!

    PS: It's very difficult to capture rain. Have you been taking Photoshop lessons?

    Actually, Lisa, some of the birds do seem to be having a hard time and look very bedraggled. I think 48 hours of heavy rain (and still raining) gets through even their feathers.

    There are better Kingfisher photos at the following posts on this blog.

    No Adrian that's all real. I haven't mastered Photoshop that well yet!

    They are proper Kingfishers. Thanks. Rain in PShop is easier than it is in camera. What's more it's adjustable. Hope the sun comes out soon.

    Hi GB, ... you have great photos. Rain not a problem for Kingfisher because the feathers waterproof (perhaps!) I want to follow this blog, thank you.

    Sounds wet ;) Doesn't make for playing outside, very much fun, now does it? Love that kingfisher though.

    Sorry that I've not been visiting much this week....I was obsessed with my blog redoing...and, yes, I don't know, Graham - why I do that to myself, but I do and for some strange reason - I enjoy it - even the frustration of it. I like to solve problems, QUIET problems, that is....not like that of my children, oh-boy - solving their issues with one another is certainly not my favorite thing to do.

    Your pictures certainly capture the feeling of being wet all through at not being happy about it ;)
