What a difference a bit of sun makes! I've gone from Siberia on Monday to the Canaries today! The Canaries today being represented by a glorious flock of 60 Siskins in the Alders at the western end of the flash. A breathtaking sight!
Equally breathtaking, three kingfishers chasing each other around, glowing first electric blue and then bright red in the bright sunshine, depending on the angle of flight. After chasing off the apparent intruder, the pair sat in a bush and took it in turns to dive into the water with a loud plop and then emerge with fish.
Other birds today included 2 Goosander and several Goldeneye, but no sign of yesterdays reported Scaup.
