I have been down the brook 3 times today to try to find the kingfishers but to no avail so I am posting a swan instead. There were a pair of them and they come swimming over from the river to see whether I had anything for them to eat but I didn't so they decided to swim along the brook instead.
Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs - it is always much appreciated.
Those waterfowl have our number, don't they! I would imagine Sarah has the kingfishers corralled down in her corner of the brook, but I'd say you had no trouble getting a beautiful bird for your photo here as well!
