When I say it’s been raining for the last 24 hours…

The Mourning Doves aren’t impressed but the gardens and fields sure needed it.

[Nada]

Awww… poor thing. We need rain as well.

[Shutterbug]

It does look soaked. We have had rain forecast for most of the week and still not a single drop.

[Joanne Diochon]

Oh so bedraggled. My doves got wet today too. Think the gardens needed it though.

[Chris Cook]

Wonderful shot

[Louise & Ken]

Her "hair" could use some sorting out, but it didn't muss her makeup!

[Babs]

Aw poor thing does look rather bedraggled.

[Boxplayer]

Poor sausage.

[moni kozi]

Oh... poor thing. It's been like that over here as well. But as you say: the gardens really need this.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, my goodness, it's wet!

[Diana]

Fabulous closeup of this poor soggy bird! I do feel sorry for them, especially in winter.

[Joan Robillard]

Fabulous

[Susan Wakely]

Aw it looks a bit bedraggled.

[Monica]

Great shot, even if the model is clearly unhappy

[Bucktree]

Fabulous closeup capture. Gorgeous colors and textures. Poor thing, hope he can dry out soon.

[John Falconer]

It does look a bit soaked!! Well spotted.

[Mags]

Aww! Poor dove. He's super soaked.

[Pat]

Aw bless him. Even bedraggled he is still beautiful. Super capture.

[Pam]

[Elisabeth Sæter]

[Islandgirl]

Poor thing looks like a drowned bird!
