A rainy day at Balgavies, testing my camera set up

A male Blackcap who was in company with a female, a completely soaked Red Squirrel at the hide, and a mixture of Swallows and the odd Sand Martin at the sheltered end of the loch, the only part without waves on it.

Despite the heavy rain three squirrels continued to feed and sometimes cache peanuts
