My OperaQuiet Day...

Where did summer go? If you happen to see it, please send it my way. So all I have today are a few shots of garden birds. Starting with a greenfinch.
Next up is a blue tit. Always cute, and highly photogenic whatever the weather.
A lone herring gull was preening its feathers.
And to the last of the birds, a wood pigeon gathering twigs for its nest. The nest itself is buried deep in the small beech trees at the edge of the garden, just above head height but far too dark for a photo. I hope, however, to photograph the fledglings in the coming weeks.
The last shot is an oddity, caught late on Saturday night while I was out in the garden. There was distant lightning (no thunder) which illuminated the clouds every half minute or so. It was quite a spectacular display, and a signal of the worsening weather we've since endured. This is a still from some otherwise unedited video I shot at the time.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. The lightning/cloud shot was taken on the same caera but in video mode and with the EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens.

At least the birds are still around in all weathers...
