I can’t believe how indolent we have been today. We have spent most of the day sitting in the garden of our holiday let watching (and in my case photographing) birds. I can’t remember ever having a day like it.
There’s been so much to see and I don’t really know how to go about recording what we have seen. I will just publish a sample of my photographs and tell you that most of the action has taken place at a distance of less than 20 metres from where we have been sitting. The day ended when a kingfisher perched in the garden less than 3 metres from us, before scuttling off down the river. I didn’t have a camera in my hand at the time as I was holding my evening aperitif!
Supper time now and a day free from birding tomorrow!

The in-flight shots are amazing and I am completely blown away at the size of the fish that the gull caught. Great job in capturing the action. Wow!

Thanks, Mike. What I couldn’t believe is that the gull took off as soon as it had swallowed the fish.

You’ve seen some fabulous birds Martin, and Kingfisher a garden tick too! Just a query about your House Sparrow in flight – did you get good views of it when it landed?
