Slightly trippy kingfisher photo.

Today I am mostly spying on the elusive Water Rail taking a bath.

Possibly my favourite Kingfisher shot this year. She is a beauty!

Good morning, Treecreeper.

Male kingfisher in the same place as yesterday's female. I suspect shenanigans are ahead.

Gorgeous Wren! I shall call you Steven.

I know I am biased, but I can't think of a lovlier surpise that coming across a kingfisher on the river. A beautiful burst of colour and movement. This female is unknown to me; she's entered the territory of a younger female, so I am wondering how that will play out.

Great to see the elusive Water Rail this morning.

thanks, Rob!

When you just have to have that mid-afternoon 40 winks.

Great to see Sorcha again. I spent a good 30 minutes with her this morning as she fished and preened. A delightful time.

Pair of cormorants on the river this morning. Here's hoping for some cormorant babies.

Hello, handsome.

I had a delightful half hour this morning listening to this white-throated dipper singing and responding to its song echoing from the river wall. A lovely time.

A Buzzard.

No debate as to who owns the fir cones.

Lovely fir cones!

If, like me, you've often wondered what a photo of three backlit chaffinches in flight might look like, then wonder no more.

Mrs K suggested I post a close up of the red squirrel. Thoughts? #redsquirrel #squirrel #closeup
