"Nice weather for ducks", people say when it's lashing it down.
Really?
I got away early from work today and I thought as the rain was torrential it was pointless going to the Orchard Centre (I've had plently of experience of birding here in wet conditions!).
So I thought I'd go down to Ashleworth Ham. Ideal weather for ducks, I reasoned!
I was slightly disappointed then to see just a single Shelduck, a Wigeon, 9 Canada Geese and a couple of sorry looking Mute Swans.
On a positive note the Swallows (about a dozen) seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the rain!
