My camera with the better zoom is still being repaired. I have had to enlarge these photos, sorry about the quality. I have found the Kingfishers nest site. Here they are swapping over at the nest. Blurred images.
I noticed a Heron on the river bank. It had some River Water Crowfoot in its beak, which it was shaking. I looked through the bins and saw either a snake or an eel in the vegetation. The Heron managed to swallow whatever it was, whole.
A Trout was in a small stream, grabbing at passing flies.
I saw a small duck in the river. The bird flew over to the other side of the river and sat on a rock under a bush. It was a Mandarin Duck.
An Osprey flew past as I was sat on a bench.
The river level is now so low that fishing has been suspended. There are rocks where I,ve not seen any before. There is rain possibly forecast for the coming week-end. The wildlife and the garden needs it.
