Solace Day 14.

Last night as we were nearing the end of the day's cruising "The Mate" said "which bird hovers like a humming bird?".  Kestrel said I raising my eyes skywards.   "No No along there just above the water."  The answer then was obvious Kingfisher!  Near where it had been were 2 posts with a piece of rebar tied between them.  Somebody had obviously deliberately made a perch.

Kingfishers will habitually use the same perch so we decided to moor opposite in the hope of shots in the morning.  Sure enough there it was but in the flurry of excitement we hadn't thought to take out the removable glass from the window.

So a rather poor shot but I get so few shots of Kingfishers it just had to be today's blip.

We arrived back at the marina mid afternoon and set about all those jobs which need done before you leave the boat, as somebody else will be on board by 3:00pm the next day.  All jobs done we went to bed ready for an early start the next morning.
