Going through my photos, I found this one from earlier in the year. A rather fluffed up Goldfinch trying to stay warm in the snow. I wounder what this winter is going to be like?

A VERY wet day at Duxford yesterday. Such a shame as there was a lot going on. After 3 hours in the rain, we gave up and came home, but the airshow continued for another 2 and a half hours! Well done to everyone who stayed on and the pilots for flying in the rain! As you can see from the photos, very grey skies.
