We got up early this morning.....VERY early....by 1am, to watch the Scottish (sorry, GB.😎)
Women's Curling team win gold in the Winter Olympics!
I was up again by 7.30 am, and it was still blowing a hoolie with added hail!!
The latest storm has been rattling us all day...but no worries with good coverage of the beautiful closing ceremony. We caught the end of the ice dancing too. Where it looked like most were dancing their favourite party prices and having fun!
At last the wind eased a little and we ventured out for a walk. It wouldn't have been safe by bike!
No dippers or wagtails, the river was so high. But we did see Robins and Wrens. Blackcaps and Chaffinches. No swans on Hannahston pond this time. Just a solitary Coot.
Blurry pictures...it was difficult to hold the tablet still in the gusty winds!!
We did get caught in a hail shower..but not for long!

I don't like the look of the sky in the bottom photo. Glad you were able to get out for a walk.
I hope these storms die down a bit before the end of the week, GZ.
We watched them too, they were incredible.
Apart from the mallards and geese enjoying the flooded fields, there have been hardly any sightings of the usual birds - I did wonder first thing this morning while I watched the trees flap about in the wind, how on earth birds hang on without strapping themselves down!

I think you got it worse up north than us down south, mind you it is still windy here
