Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales, UK. 02nd Mar, 2026. Yet another day of rain in mid Wales but the birds are busy and judging from the calling, getting ready for Spring. Despite the downpour these birds foraged aropund some feeding areas and by using a slow shutter speed I was able to use the rain as movement within th ephotographs.
