COATE WATER

I've not visited Coate water bird hides for a while now, so I paid a visit over lunchtime today. 
The first hide was empty of people, so I enjoyed watching the birds on and around the feeders. These included nuthatch, great tits, long tailed tits, blue tits, robin, wren, tree creeper, chaffinch, dunnock, There was also a visiting rat.

I then went on to see what was about at hide 2; in contrast this was full of people all anxious to take shots of kingfishers which had been seen recently. Although they had all been waiting hours, I think only one had been seen, and although I sat in the hide for a short time, nothing else of particular interest was about.
