A few shots from the weekend before Katia

Wind howling outside due to Ex hurricane Katia. So a few shots from yesterday and last week. Usual excuse about quality due to wind and very poor light. Spent a few hours on Saturday where I heard the Corncrake. The land owner was cutting the vegetation. I say vegetation because there was such a mix of stuff growing I doubt it has any value or worth to cattle. How the tractor did didn't go up to its axles is a wonder as the ground was so wet and soft. No sign of the Crakes. Hopefully next year the Corncrake will returns.
