The Kingfishers were a remarkable sight, one remained sitting in the hedge for a few seconds allowing me to approach quite closely, whilst the other 4 flew off together down the stream. A family party I assume.

ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon. Ironically, whereas Kingfishers were seen daily in September, they'd become very scarce at the mere during October, so 5 today was a complete surprise.
