Kingfisher

It always feels special to see this beautiful bird on our local river, the Nidd, just a couple of miles from home. We feel lucky when we see  a fly by - that flash of blue heading up or downstream - so I can’t imagine ever not gratefully grabbing the opportunity for a photo when it’s there. I’m getting better at resting against a tree, this is completely unedited, although I also took plenty to delete! No sign of Mrs Goosander and the babes today, fingers crossed for them
Wishing you all a  lovely weekend
