Sarah, Rosie and I went out in search of kingfishers today. You have probably all seen their gorgeous images of the last few days and I thought it was about time they took me to get a decent shot!! As we walked along the river I suddenly spotted a kingfisher flying very fast along the river - a brilliant blue flash. Of course that was the only sighting I got of the illusive KF but at least I saw him!!
This shot of the Comma butterfly is my first sighting of a butterfly this year. There was also a painted lady and another couple of comma butterflies in this beautiful tree full of white blossom. The sun shone and it was very warm like a summers day. What a treat for us and we were so pleased to be out in the sunshine as the forecast for the weekend is unsettled and cold!!
