Wet 'Piper (Actitis hypoleucos)

It was very dull when I got to Kinnordy that day, very threatening black clouds.

Within a short time the heavens opened (you can see the drops bouncing off the water)! But what was I to do, there were two Sandpipers sitting on the raft, not together unfortunately, and a year tick!

That raft seems to attract quite a few birds and nicely captured in the rain D.

You did good to get the 2 birds on a raining day. Hope you kept your camera dry Delia

It is really amazing at how much use this platform gets, even though it is not used for its intended purpose (lol). It looks as if the rain drops were quite large. Wonderful capture of this Common Sandpiper in the downpour! TFS D!
