KINGFISHER AT COATE

I returned to Coate Water today in the hope of getting some photos of the kingfisher and today the kingfisher (a female) was very obliging, making short flights between branches of overhanging trees and various reeds providing some good views from the path. She did one unsuccessful dive while I watched. Already taking photos,  was a gentleman who in his own words was 'addicted' to kingfishers, so it was nice to have someone to make conversation with while we waited and watched it. 

Also there were the usual birds taking food from the fence posts just behind us.

On the way to school this morning this buzzard was perched up in a tree enjoying the morning sun.
