9th March 2025 – Eastville Park, Bristol

We had an enjoyable gentle Sunday morning stroll around our local park in the sunshine chatting to new and old acquaintances.

We were well rewarded with a fleeting visit of a male kingfisher who stayed only long enough for me to take 3 frames (although everyone told us that the male and female had been around for ages. I also missed a treecreeper that everyone else seemed to have seen.

I think robins are about my spotting ability and there were plenty of those to choose from.

Around the lake there were lots of cormorants. The mind boggles to think that they eat 30 times their body weight of fish in a day. That doesn’t bode well for the fish in the lake, although there always seem to be plenty there.
