Mares Tails

I was just doing some gardening and happened to look up (no - I was not lying on my back, sunbathing) and saw these amazing clouds:

Really beautiful.  I looked them up and they are Cirrus Clouds - or Mares Tails, made of ice particles which probably explains the little rainbow in the corner of the photo below:

Apparently they could signal rain in the next three to five days - pity.

And while I had my camera out I thought I'd take a quick snap of our single little chick which hatched yesterday - Mum's being good now but she wasn't a patient sitter and sadly broke the other 4 eggs

Better get back to gardening now.....
