Welcome to the new season, LIMPY
IrfanView's auto-adjust button is clearing the mistiness - or it did this time, doesn't always work:
Raindrop artifacts gave us a new bird:
Some scenes up to just before 17:00.
Outbuildings or solar panels or... ???
Lotsa water - I hope the dear sheep don't get footrot
Saplings planted by National Trust volunteers, apparently:
More waterlogging and a variety of Glaslyn's lovely trees

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I do hope the nest dries out before Mrs G arrives. I have a sinking feeling about soggy eggs. Lotsa water just doesn't say it !!!
Thank you Scylla
The encoder packed up when Heather started using her hairdryer, haha. Therefore...

Forgot my pink evening snaps...
First I thought the sun must have come out:
Thank you for the new LINK Scylla and the colourful snips.
It is still very windy but at least it is dry at the moment.
The nest looks drier too.

The only snap I took turns out to be (I found when going back thru the pages looking for your "low res" post) a duplicate of one already posted, so I'll leave it.
