Rain rain

While most of the country is still basking in sunshine, we poor inhabitants of Capel Curig have had torrential rain now for 24 hours. We needed the rain for the garden so not complaining really. These newly fledged Blue Tits didn't seem to mind as they played with each other. We had a visit from a family of 5 newly fledged Great Tits today too, so that's two new Great Tit families in my garden now. The Siskins visited too even though we have no Niger Seeds left. It was great to watch the order of species on the feeder. The baby Great Tits were definitely the bosses today then came the Siskins and finally the baby Blue Tits got to eat.Cheeky the stray cat has been missing for a few days. I wasn't worried as the weather was so nice. He was probably curled up with the llama again, honestly he sleeps on top of the llama in the field behind our house, bless him. Anyhow, he turned up again this morning with a piece offering. Poor little shrew. I would much prefer to be photographing a wild and alive one.
