BIRD IN THE BUSH by markp

BIRD IN THE BUSH

After the battling Kingfishers, here's a rather calmer one.
After drawing a blank looking for them, I went to another hide to try and get the Little Grebes which are normally there.
There were two there, the one on the left had the better light and I got some shots of him, till he vanished under the bushes right on the lake side. While taking photographs, I could hear plop, plop, noises which I put down to the other grebe over on the right.

Looking round, he appeared to have gone as well. As I peered down into the bushes, to see if the grebe was hiding beneath them imagine my surprise to see this Kingfisher calmly sitting very close to the hide.
I think it was her that had been making the plopping noises as she dived for fish.
However there was no tell tale whistle from her.

Unfortunately, the bushes were rather in the way.

Another view here....

She's a beautiful girl, it's amazing how close they sit to humans at times
