Hartsholme Park Kingfisher

Guess where I’ve been again this morning.

Carole is going to get annoyed with me soon, even if I am getting up with her, making her a cup of tea and defrosting her car - me then going off to Hartsholme Country Park on solo photography expeditions AND capturing this beauty could well be grounds for divorce soon.

I was so fortunate to be told this morning by another photographer where he perches and we stood for a good hour and a half watching him fish. Very happy with humans, almost posing, but a sniff of a dog and he’s off, to reappear 10 minutes or so later when the dogs had gone.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

Ps It does make a difference when you don’t have the dining room window between the camera and the bird. This is so clear.

I’m sure she appreciates it but would rather join in on seeing and photographing a kingfisher.

@shutterbug49 I’m certain she would. If weather nice next Saturday, we’ll both head over and hope we're lucky.
