Calm before the Storm

An nice update your garden today Linda. Looks pretty wet. We had a little rain but not too much. I think we are going to miss this awful stormy weather, this time round, seems central Scotland is going to be hit and England.

Hope you all keep safe if this next storm is in your area and that you have no damage, or very little.

Im somewhere in Gloucestershire rather than up north far south or east.  where I am in Gloucestershire  the storm is going on at the moment. I didnt get any birds  in the garden this afternoon  cause of the Storm. the storm gradually picked up a lot and then it started raining so its high wind speeds and rain at the same time and it’s still going now. That doesn’t mean everyone in Gloucestershire is exsearianceing it  but I think other  people might get hit Gloucestershire too but I think it probably depends on where you are in Gloucestershire if you get hit or not. The  photos of the birds are very funny and the Sparrowhawk is aswell I think it’s funny that he kept looking at you and then left after aswell

Great photos of jock Linda and all the other birds, is that a new bird bath you have ?

Thanks all...well only a few shoots of bamboo snapped this morning and the sun is shining yet again...hope you all had a safe night.

@ILR no not a new bird bath but looking to get one soon ;-)

Great pics Linda, you are getting plenty of Siskin along with the other finches etc., glad you hadn't too much damage, forecast bad here for tomorrow, just hope the leccy stays on so I can get my cup of tea in the morning:-)

We had a feeding frenzy the last couple of days, with feeders being emptied more than twice in a day.

They must be listening in on the weather forecasts!

Joking aside, I'm sure nature must have some means of detecting weather changes, we can often feel a sudden cold wind during a warm or mild spell, which can signify rain on the way and some people can detect barometric pressure changes through their joints, so if we can, and we've become very distanced from nature, then I've no doubt wildlife can, and plants as well.

Stay safe up there.

Am sure they know well before us!
All fine here Mike although I can see plenty snow on the Campsies.
Hope all fine down your way

I've heard there is snow on the Campsies, from my friend up that way.
