Drought they tell us.......... what drought is my question? It has been unrelenting rain since the BBC announced the drought  Great shot of this poor little one Shirley, I can only hope he managed to dry out and keep warm Andy |

You are so right Andy, non-stop rain lately. He is staying under the shrubs and comes out to enjoy the odd dry spell.
John I think he probably looks as 'fed-up' as the rest of us feel !

What a good shot! Looks like he's making god use of the sun to dry off ..... or looking for sympathy  It sure has an element of comedy about it  Good detail & light, I like it a lot. K Weather is just as bad up here Shirley, but looks like we might see a bit of sunshine this week  (between showers  ) |

Thanks for your comments & the K Carlos. He's quite a cheeky chap, always hopping about in the hopes of food. Definitely made a big deal about his damp state. Weather was dreadful over the weekend, torrential downpours. Naturally bright sun now we're back at work  |

Nice capture Shirley, Nice composition and framing. According to our news this morning (1st May) you are still experiencing water shortages with flooding in Sussex. Interesting! Perhaps the Robin is not wet and it is just having a bad hair day. Delboy. |
