The Right Place at the Right Time

Sometimes, it comes down to serendipity, at least it does for a sometime birder like me. Saturday was a good day. Sadly, there aren't gonna be any more for a while, not with term reopening.

Eurasian tree sparrow

The more I look at these chappies up close, the more I like them. Such nice detail. Of course, they are very obliging when it comes to photos...

little heron

I took several photos before I stopped and wondered whether it was in fact a statue. It finally moved after quite a while...

stork-billed kingfisher

This was the best moment. My first kingfisher, and one with its dinner in its mouth too!
