Over the last couple of days, when we haven’t been doing touristy things, I’ve grabbed a few more bird photos as the opportunities here are endless. We have an armchair view (literally) so the pickings are very easy although I did miss a kingfisher which perched right opposite us as I was without camera at the time. I must be getting blasé.
