Kingfisher

Hoping to see an otter, I went to Gosforth Park early this morning.  No otter but instead this chap turned up.  He was a bit too far away and too silhouetted for a good photo.

Here is a better photo of a young female from last year.

Hoping for a better kingfisher photo I later went to Far Pastures.  No kingfisher - but there was an otter!  Only brief views but still a thrill as I have only seen one twice before.
