Just a few photographs that say it all about my morning at Grove Ferry where the Crakes proved difficult but this female Kingfisher entertained.

As we sat in the Harrison's Drove hide waiting for the Spotted Crake to show a Kingfisher flew through heading towards David Feast hide so we headed back and sure enough we found her just outside the hide.
I may have to post more images of this encounter as she was a little stunner.
After this we headed over to Margate cemetery in the hope we might find a Wryneck or two but alas we couldn't pin any down. We did see Ring-necked Parakeets and White Letter Hairstreak butterflies here though before heading to Reculver and then on up the A2 home.
Brian you very lucky fellow !!!!
ReplyDeleteI spent the best part of 5 hours on and off on Friday in the company of three others taking it in turns in the hide betweeen 11.00am and 4pm on Friday and it never showed once.See my Flickr site the only thing that was on the perch was a juvenile Moorhen. Some lovely shots.
Thanks Mike, I've had a bit of a Kingfisher year but this was a treat to see her at Grove today as last week the male wouldn't come down from the nearby willow and was feeding further along the channel. Go and give it another try when they come in it's well worth it.
