Found it! It wasn't a Common at all - it's a species called a Purple Starfish :t:

It's been like that up here too Val :-O I'm so pleased we got out early as it started to rain five minutes after we got back home and hasn't really stopped since :smoke:
It is wet here too. I had my walk in the rain this afternoon. Had some shopping so could not avoid it.
Still enjoyed my walk through Bedford Park. Not a sign of the wildfowl except when 2 people came up to feed them and they appeared very quickly. Even they do not like wet weather.
I could only see one Mute Swan not its mate or any of the 5cygnets. Must be sheltering somewhere.
Love seeing the two Pied Wagtails which reside close to my house. They are always flying around making their cute little chatterings as they fly overhead. o

If it's any consolation, Wendy, you were not alone with having the rain!o
Chucked it down here until teatime. It is a full moon this evening, not much chance of seeing it with all the cloud cover though! It was a bobby dazzler last night!:t:

That is a pretty Starfish, Gill. I'm glad it didn't rain till you got home.
The rain actually stopped here early this evening.

Wasn't it just! I actually saw the sunrise today (pics on appropriate thread!). Moon shot taken at about 07:05.
Mild at 12.5c and brightly overcast after a beautiful sunrise and early morning.

The same here earlier this morning, kathy,though it has now gone decidedly chillier! The weekend weather looks promising.:t:
Plenty of birds in the garden today, a small flock of 9 L.T.Tits flew threw the garden this morning and a Wren put in an appearance. Which was nice.

I love the moon shot :t: There's something very special about a clear night and the moon shining bright, isn't there? I often find myself unable to look away from it as it's SO beautiful.
It's been incredibly mild up here in Northumberland today. Dry but slightly windy during daylight hours but now *9.12pm* it's positively howling around outside! :eek!:

hi Pam
Like you the weather is on the same level here. I hope that there is some brighter weather around as we plan to go to the RSPB at Sandy once more this Sunday.
Lovely collection of birds Pam. My OH would love to see a LTT in our garden. We have had Wrens in our back garden, and they are so cute!.
I always gets mixed up with a Robin and a Wrens alarm call - do you?
Hi Gill
Hope that your weather brightens up soon to go along with your weekend Gill :t:

Hi Kathy,
The LTT's were in the garden again this morning. A Robin sang his melancholy song, it was still fairly dark so I diidn't see him but it was lovely to hear his song first thing in the morning. A flock of 50+ Fieldfare and Redwing flew fairly low over the garden, so I reckon they are not too far away feeding.
Last night was good...a Fox in the garden!
Hope you enjoy your day at Sandy!:t:
Mild and 11c this morning.
