Well that's a claim and a half. We saw a beautiful kingfisher perched on a branch; miraculously it chose to stay there while we snapped away (perhaps it took pity on us as we only usually get a fleeting streak of blue at best).


Above, the scene. Below, the top right third. You can see the kingfisher if you try. Not an award winning picture but a categorical capturing of it's presence. I'm thrilled to have encountered this amazing bird which we have kept our ears pricked and eyes peeled for over the past few years. A memorable moment.



Squirrel hiding.





Have a wonderful weekend,
Take care,
