There was persistent rain in the morning but fortunately there was a little window of opportunity with the weather to get out this afternoon (back on home territory in Eastville Park); however, it was quite dark and, although my young companion and I managed to spot 2 male kingfishers regularly around the lake, it was difficult to get clear photos. But never mind eh! Oli enjoyed the afternoon pointing out the kingfishers to people who had never seen one and enjoyed chatting to Cliff.

One of six cormorants at the lake

The grey heron spent an awful lot of time looking but never took the plunge.

Thought this photo of a squirrel might be the best nature photo of the day at one stage.
