11th August 2019
Some interesting clouds today, accompanied by some distant rumbles of thunder. See that cloud over the hill on the bottom left of the photo?

Another cloudscape for today – this one was a particularly dark cloud that was heading from the north west. No sooner had we spotted the cloud, there was a very bright flash of lightning and an incredibly loud rumble of thunder. The local nesting birds seemed to take it all in their stride, but we were…
