Storms, Wind and Floods

Over the last few weeks we have suffered considerable rainfall. 
A number of large storms have in turn come from the South West via the Atlantic.
River levels have been near or close to the top of the banks.  
Storm Chandra has now caused these rivers to overflow.



One bright moment was shooting these small groups of Snowdrops.

Snowdrops


Most of the images in this post are of fields complete or mostly waterlogged.







A few birds could be observed, but the high cold winds kept most of them out of sight.




Another bright moment was the show of the first Crocus flowers in the Borough Gardens.

  3. Fabulous photos, especially where you captured the rainbow. Yes I did wonder what the situation would be like there (brother lives in Somerset) having heard about the storms and floods on the news. We have had tons of rain in the last few weeks too and there is standing water in some of the fields, although they are not actually flooded (if that makes sense!).
