The only kingfisher I saw today

I've been with pixiemac today searching for the kingfisher and we only had one chance to get a shot as when we saw him the next time, he caught a fish, landed quickly and then disappeared into the bushes never to be seen again! Best on black if you have the time.

I have had a lovely day with Sarah and I am glad my Tom Tom got me to her house so easily and I got back again via the same route that avoided a lot of the delays I had last time I left her to go home. Thanks Sarah for a lovely day and I owe you lunch next time.


Thanks to everyone for getting yesterday's redpolls on PP

"Only" one today, Rosie? I'm lucky if I see one a year, and they never stay still long enough for me to point my camera at them. Nice shot, and I am jealous! Fav.
