Dorney
I saw the storm coming as I left the car park but I hoped it would miss the wetlands. This hairy caterpillar was in one of the hides, and I've since identified it as a Garden Tiger Moth's larva. Perhaps these are what the cuckoo was hunting.
I was in the process of snapping it when the wind picked up and the first spots of rain fell. The shower quickly changed to a downpour of hail-stones and there were two claps of thunder. Soaked, I gave up and went home.
