Following a day of (photographing) art galleries, monuments and churches in Bristol it was back to the birds this morning in Stoke Park.
Within a few minutes of arriving I was treated to a grey heron flying right in front of me and then a kingfisher posing nicely on the edge of the pond.
The kingfisher seemed to follow me around Duchess Pond and I had shots of it in lots of different locations but none as good as its original perch.
There were lots of corvids around and I even got sight of a sparrow hawk and a buzzard being mobbed by them.
Just before setting off home I saw a male and female stonechat but only managed a photo of the female.
