Unforeseen

Now I no longer have to zip up and down the A9 I love a snowy day. I had intended to get some winter  shots of Pollok House, instead I was thrilled to capture the kingfisher which I hadn’t  anticipated. Perhaps because the light was different this morning I noticed it’s orange chest first, thinking for a second that I might have mistaken it for a robin, they are about the same size. Fortuitously it settled on one of the branches close to the nest and stayed there long enough for me to get a blip.
The nuthatch was about too, and since there’s some snow in it I’m including it as my extra, it will probably all be gone tomorrow and the postie will be back wearing his shorts.
