Rain! Mist! Fog!

 

Snowdrops 

Another challenging day with early rain, then mist, followed by fog - it didn't really get light! Still adorned with wet weather gear, Symphony accompanied me with our daily, local, exercise walk to the cliffs. Despite the challenges, there is always something of interest to see.

All images handheld with Sony RX10 mk4. Due to the misty conditions, haze reduction has been used on all images in photo shop.

Foggy Views









Trying to find some cheer on such a grey day, these Snowdrops fitted the bill


On the cliffs, the wild waves could be heard and felt thudding against the base. The continuing wet and damp conditions is increasing the top soil erosion, particularly at Grandstand




On the ledges, Gannets continue to reclaim their nest sites (misty)




Fewer Guillemots were on the cliffs but the misty conditions made sea counts impossible




And Fulmar


The weather forecast into next week is not good and snow is predicted! But we all know how inaccurate weather forecasts are!

Please stay safe on your local, exercise walks in nature.
