At last - the KINGFISHER!!

For the past few years I think I have been the only person at Martin Mere not to have seen the Kingfisher, it's been a standing joke!! Last Saturday I went for a walk round with a friend and there from one of the hides we had a brilliant view of not just one but a pair of Kingfisher. Of course I wasn't prepared but had a go - I didn't have a tripod or bean bag but fortunately did have camera with decent lens. These are the best of about 50. They are building their nest in the mud bank at the back which doesn't give a very good backdrop to the photos either.



At last I have finally seen them, hurray!!!!!

Thanks Liz for waiting so patiently whilst I merrily clicked away.
