Normally I would agree with you JS but this one entertained me and my son for a good 15 mins or so as we waited for an otter

Water Rail just half time entertainment then while the Otter decided to put in an appearance.

It wasn't quite Barons Haugh but canny be bothered starting another post.

Thanks SM, this place is right in the middle of a massive brand new housing estate, so was nice to see wildlife is important to them. I shall return as they have Kingfishers aswell but too quick fir me that time!

It's so nice to sit and watch the kingies again On the River

And as I wait Mr toad was at my feet

Sorry am being a tad lazy with pics as late , it's tiring sitting in the sunshine
Must be tiring building a nest!


You canny unhear a chiffchaff noo as they are out in force

Nice ones, Linda. I never see toads or frogs, perhaps you'd gone bare foot and they were attracted to the hairy webbing?
Lovely to see Kingie

Lovely photo's of the kingfisher Linda, I did see one fly by a week or so ago, but needless to say no picture again... A different view of a nuthatch, up the right way, on the ground, mouthful of mud

Lazy or not another good set of images.
