Thor's day

Blimey - did it rain! 26mm in 24 hours. Like a silly sod I put the nets up down the 'long hedge' before it started. Had to sit out the thunder and wait until the late afternoon lull to take them down again.
Whilst they were drying, I caught a few birds, including a male Blackcap that I hadn't seen since I ringed it in the 'rough' 4 years or more ago. Not bad! A pair of Cuckoos were patrolling the area all day. (Another could be heard at the main lake).
