Wet and gloomy

Blackbird in the rain feeding on Rowan berries

My goodness it rained today, spent the morning trawling the Internet finding and ordering an Olympus TCON 17 to give my new camera extra zoom, should be interesting.

PM went out to shoot some bird photos from the car, I prefer doing it on foot but when its throwing it down like it was this morning the cars a nice place to be. Got one or two nice ones and a lot not so wonderful but the good thing with this super zoom is I can at least get the shot even if its rubbish. With the spotting scope thing I missed most of them.
At about 2pm the rain eased and I decided to walk up Fairlie glen to photo the burn and Clyde views, it turned out rather pleasant, the burn was flowing well and the clouds lifted off the hills nicely. I was tempted all the way up to the upper waterfall.
