Almost like a bad penny, that Kingfisher is back again. This time it's 09:25 when I get a picture of it perched on a reed near the house.
A Groups of Mallard Take Off
I'm not sure when the group of mallard arrived, but my BBC Weather Watcher upload taken just before 09:00 did not show them, but they were certainly present at 09:51 when this picture was taken.
I wonder if it was me, opening the patio doors to get a better shot of them, that caused the entire group to take flight moments later.
It's Been a While since I took Photos of Muntjac
Both these pictures of Muntjac were taken within a minute of each other at 15:03.
I had been concentrating so much on getting a good shot of the pair of deer close together, which I now presume to be mother and young, that it took me a while to realise a third was present, or had appeared from the other side of the dyke.
