Super shots Phil.

Forgot to mention lady dog-walker asked what a small brown bird would be . I suggested a Dunnock and she said she would look it up in a Birdbook.

Then she said that she had seen a bird with a blue back and just as I was going to say I didn't know a Kingfisher shot into view across the the far side of the lodge ! Surprised

Here's the bird from Mere Sands Wood yesterday.

Forgot to mention that while photographing the Goosanders this morning, a Kingfisher flew across the lodge.
