A wet day round Penninghame pond way

Though it was a miserable day I needed to get out.

I thought I'd see frogs as it's more than a month since I first saw frog spawn.

Sadly, Penninghame pond area still has frog spawn.

I took lots of pictures anyway.

The video included is an interesting one.

I'll say no more, either enjoy the pictures or don't bother.

I was about to leave because the rain came on, but I noticed these chaffinches flying around a log pile.

It seems visitors have been keeping them fed with nuts, bird seed and bread.

This is a video compiled of 186 photographs taken in a high speed burst. Each image lasts one twelfth of a second.

The birds are mainly chaffinches at Penninghame Pond near Newton Stewart.

The musical clip is a section of Ragtime Annie played by Bill Wimberly & His Country Rhythm Boys in 1957.
