As the title of this blog says I am trying hard not to mind the rain. Where I live it has not been tobaddin the past, but I have notice that the puddles are now getting bigger, hopefully we won't have to much problems, but we have to wait and see.
While waiting for a train , I saw a pied wagtail running up and down the platform as if he owned it. They are such cheeky little souls. My journey went through a grey,brown and dark green scenery. Sorry to be gloomy.
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

Better weather for now.
The birds are now singing their hearts out, heard a robin, blackbird and a thrush. The foxes are back again, I have no problem with them they sometimes come into the garden and sunbathe when the sun comes out.
One side of the high street had rain and the other side sun but no rain. It's been really cold but bright for most of the day, but only a bit of rain in the late afternoon.

Hopes for a better week.
A skein of geese flew over, it's so lovely to see them fly over. When on one of my usual train journey and s that the fields that was ok last week , was flooded this week and very bad at that. Will this rain ever stop? We are promised a day or two of good weather. Let's hope so. Our town pond is still holding its own at the moment. But the birds seem to be ok flying to and fro. And hopefully the wild animals are ok, as well.

The pond.
2 swans a flock of seagulls , some moorhens, ducks and a single Canadian goose, all swimming in the pond. Swans are so graceful when they swim. The pond so far has held it's own at the moment. It has not burst it's bank yet. Hope that doesn't happen. It is a drizzly day today, but the birds are out and about, they have been quiet lately. Even the pigeons haven't been around. I wonder if the birds get fed up with this rain? The ducks seem to like it.

very quiet.
woke up to a quiet morning . no wind . a bit of blue sky and the sun is out, so hopefully it will stay like that for today at least. the ground is so soggy ,there are so many puddles, some are quite deep. its fun watching the children jump in the puddles!the birds have been so quiet its not nice not hearing them, didn't hear the dawn chorus and i was up before dawn and had the back door open. it is like a lull after the storm.

Not good weather.
Not a very good day today .just rain and wind again. It could be a lot worse. A friend phoned up and said that the front where they work is flooded. I do hope that everyone is safe.
more rain
the start of the new year is rain and more rain. woke up to a grey dismal day and rain. my local high street started to flood the other day,but when i went down yesterday it receded ,it does flood quite badly. the local pond is brimming to nearly over flowing. we have got visitors on the pond ,seagulls . the pond id divided into two , there is abridge which goes over the pond and there is a little waterfall as well. the seagulls seem to prefer the side near the road, and the otherwater fowl prefer the side which is quieter.
