It had been raining for best part of two days but I couldn't stay inside any longer. I was bored and, by lunchtime, both bored and annoyed, so put my stuff in the car and went to see what was about.
Culver is always a good bet for migrants in spring and autumn so, as it was raining, I went there in case of any grounded ones waiting for a break in the weather to cross the Channel.

I was soaked, and so was my camera and lens, but it was a nice walk, with some good birds around and, best of all, no people. It may look less than appealing outside when the weather is dismal and the temptation to just slump in front of a slasher movie or Star Trek is almost overwhelming, but it does pay to go out in horrible conditions and it's often not quite as atrocious as it appears.
