“It rained and it rained and it rained. Piglet told himself that never in all his life, and he was goodness knows how old – three was it, or four? – never had he seen so much rain.”
Winnie-The-Pooh, A.A.Milne, Chapter 9 …in which Piglet is entirely surrounded by water
Storm Christoph wasn’t too bad for us personally, although there were heartbreaking pictures on the news of its impact in other parts of the country.
But today the rain stopped and the sun came out. The birds returned to the feeders.
The Blue tits visited and sang whilst performing their acrobatics. I think I prefer US name Chickadee to the UK Tit, even though it probably would only apply to our Willow tit or Marsh tit. It’s so much more genteel.
Anyway, here is a Blue tit in our garden enjoying the sun.
