Definitely weather for ducks yesterday morning. This teal took flight during one of the lighter showers but the Mallards did not look happy when the rain was at its heaviest. The Coots are already paired off and showing territorial behaviour. The hundreds of Widgeon on the pools were fairly restless giving lovely atmospheric flight images along with Mallards, Mute Swans and Geese.

Full Spectrum Photography - Autumn Rain
I took my full spectrum Lumix camera for a walk in the rain and concentrated on flowers, berries and leaves. Rather too slow shutterspeeds as light was very poor but I like the colour palettes. There is some channel swapping of background colours in Lightroom but often as taken.

Launde Abbey in the Rain
The journey to Launde Abbey (near Rutland Water) for a Nature Photographers convention involved a large number of flooded roads both near home in Cambridgeshire and around the Abbey itself. I took a paddle around the grounds before the first session started.

Perfect Gliding Weather?
Saturday's walk was all about the weather - I sent off for my walk round Hardwick Wood and Caldecote in warm sunshine but the clouds soon gathered and, as the rain started, I noticed a glider against the storm clouds and then another and another. In all I counted 8 soaring in the thermals (plus a buzzard). I later found out these were from the UK Junior Gliding Nationals at Gransden Lodge. One glider failed to maintain height and must have landed in a local field somewhere. I got very wet but. like these skittish calves, dried off in some late afternoon sunshine. (for my info wider angle are phone images)

Rainy Day in Cambridge
I walked through Cambridge this morning in the pouring rain and took a few snaps with my pocket camera of people with umbrellas.

Rainy Shopping in the Hull
The wet conditions on Friday gave some great photographic opportunities with the lights from the shops etc reflecting on pavements and the umbrellas.
