Lunch, yummy

I went for a walk along the Mon and Brecon Canal at Pontymoile in the morning in the hope of taking today's blip.   I saw several ducks with their young and a pair of moorhens with some youngsters, so decided to be very professional and use my tripod.   After struggling to take it out of its case and setting it in a position where I might catch something it started to rain.   I hastily put it back in its case and stood under a tree until the rain subsided.   When the sun came out again I repeated my actions and the rain started again!  I gave up and took some handheld photos, which I'm not pleased with and in the end I've used this blip of a blackbird taken in my garden, without using a tripod!
