Just a hop and a hover from the perch!!

Another filler as we have eldest P coming home, he has interviews this week so is a little stressed but as ever I am sure he will be fine.
One of the shots I got when the sun was shining hope you enjoy looking at it. As ever thanks for your comments and favs.

Now you are just showing off. I love how you seem to have trained all the kingfishers to pose for you. Just HAD to give it a fav xxx

@huvesaker boo, do you know I think you may be right. But I started my research in February last year and it has taken me this long, many miles, wet clothes and cups of soup to get these. No pain no gain.

Love those little feet tucked in! We can see all the finer details now!

@padlock bet they wait for you, they sing out, Here comes Padlock, everyone, places please...
January 23rd, 2016  
You're quite the expert on these now...I love what you call a 'filler' I'd call a 'prize'!
January 23rd, 2016  
@taffy Taffy yes you are right but it has taken time and miles. Are you sposed to be in Washington?
January 23rd, 2016  
@padlock We were supposed to, but with the news framing the storm as one of 'historic proportions' we took the risk that our flight home would be cancelled and they'd refund us totally. And, it was and they did. Smart move not to be there based on the images being posted. We would have been in the heart of the district, but no way to get around, so best to be home. We'll reschedule -- maybe for spring instead!

@taffy thought so wise decision. It looks really bad .

@padlock It is...my brother lives in Baltimore and has been sending photos updating us. At least they still have power, which is the main concern. But they won't be plowed out for days -- and they have several hours more to go with steady snow falling (I think it's at 22 inches at the moment).
