Dodging the rain

[Scouse]

We'd just had an amazing hail fall, I thought a plane was about to land... on the roof. As it turned to rain I saw this little guy through the window on a plant under the eaves.



Then this guy wanted to get ahead in life and chose this for a seat..... The white streaks are showing how far rain falls in 1/640th of a sec.



Then cropped in a little.

Nice set Scouse, which tells a story, it certainly looks a bit bedraggled in the first image. BTW has. Someone. Been using your weather vane for target practice 😉

Little bugger does look damp, doesn't he?

Looks like '22 practice to me. I found it on an old collapsed barn in Oregon.

Ken ... the first one is pitiful but nice and clear...the rest of your illustrated story is good...the second one is remarkable that the arrow pointing to the left is also the position of the bird's beak pointing the same way...you got a winner there...at least it know where the arrow is pointed. My brain is limited to someone pointing in a direction to "Over there!"

Nice set of images. Can't help feeling sorry for the little one.

[Shadowman]

Nice.

Thanks for the comments folk and from the wee birdies they appreciate your concern.

I felt sorry for them in the hail. Probably the equivalent of us being bombarded with cricket or baseball sized hail.

The guy on the weather vane knew which way he wanted to go Izzie. "South"

This guy got over it enough later to get aggressive in his posture, red means "Stay away"
