Rain is less of a bother. Though I imagine the rain makes it more difficult to see the fish.

Haven't spent time outside today to determine to what extent they've been able to catch any fish.

but they don't usually sit all day in the chilly rain with poor visibility. I have caught a pic of an osprey with a fish.

This is at my cottage, overlooking creek which joins with river. Nest is adjacent to this tree, on my landlord's boathouse, and I'm anxious to hear and see nestlings!
