Wet wet wet

What a pissy morning. I went out early but reckon it's going to be bad all the way through. So what with that and still feeling rubbish, I didn't get very far and thought my blip for the day would be the old wet leaf shot.

However, just as I turned for home I spotted this young heron on top of a dead tree in the marshes. As you can see, I probably should have demanded it stop raining (for clarity) and then got closer (but there was a river in the way and you know me and rivers - you don't? I fall in them).

So, welded to the naked angular branches, here he is anyway, looking rather cold and ridiculously like a Japanese print - what a little cutie..
