The ducks know when to keep their feet dry

After a night of very heavy persistent rain Silsden Beck flooded. The ground was already saturated from the heavy rain from the previous 3 days. The normal tranquil beck became a raging torrent.

Marsel House, flooded only a few weeks ago, suffered again! - see the pictures below..
