same here mate bu startin to brighten up now

terrible here in leeds, pouring down, cold and windy...........was raining early this morning and during the night too.

It's stopped raining her and the sun has come out. But is still very windy. I was hoping to let the younguns out for the first time today, but am not going to risk it in this wind.

morning gary, its sunny here with blue skies, but still raining and cold.........i had my ybs out yesterday and some circled round a few times while the youngest walked around in front of the loft. i dont think i will be letting the ybs out today, as you know pigeons like the rain but i dont want ybs out in the wind

Morning David, good news you had the younguns out.
Yep you know winds and youngbirds once a good gusts under their wings their gone.
That wind is extremely strong and cold here.

persisting down again shy is black looks like a bleak cold wet day ah well

been peing down all night and strong winds its still the same now and forcasting it for the next few days

overcast and wet here to

Overcast here, windy, but dry at the mo.

pouring down here today, been like it since early this morning......grey skies too, wont be letting me ybs out again in this i dont think

It's raining here too, But I really need to be getting these youngsters out as I'm going to be losing them

terrible here, just got back in the house........not letting ybs out today its bouncing down. thats 2 days they havnt been out because of the rain and wind, cant be helped tho i suppose........

definately adding a corridor along the front of the new loft, cant be doing with getting soaked every time it rains........

i put a 2 foot landing board on the front of my loft david it protects the loft and me from the driving rain its placed about 1 foot down from roof height and in line with the existing landing board so acts like a porch

hi darren, yes its a good idea, im soaked now and just going back out again in it........the thing is i either add a corridor for my own benefit which will maybe hamper trapping, or i leave the front as it is so they can trap through the open door and me get soaked every time it rains........

rain is pissing me off now think ill make a porch from house to the loft

deffo adding a corrider after this season
