The Mammatus Cloud formation is rare, it is often mistaken for being an ominous sign for tornados.
When in fact this cloud formation is far from being ominous.
Cold air down drafts from the high atmosphere form this cloud.

Ice Halos

Rare to occur in such high definiton, but usually occur around the time of the Winter Equinox.

I bore witness to an Ice Halo event at high noon of the winter Equinox in the year 2000.

Some amazing photos guys

The Red Squirrel, Used to be seen all over Britain and Ireland but numbers have decreased dramatically due to the increase in North American Grey Squirrels. I have not seen one for a lot of years.
