My search for a photo of a Kingfisher was until to-day proving extremly difficult.When at last I saw one perching on a stick on the edge of a local river. Many photos were taken. Silver fish were jumping in the shallows, a Little Egret was fishing madly and in the depth of the tall grassses I could hear a Water Rail. Further up the river was a Common Sandpiper prodding its beak into the mud, it was there for quite a time so the feed must have been plentiful.
Around the Island opposite the council offices were along side one of the many places for the waders were Turnstones, Dunlins, Ringed Plovers,Wigeon, Mute Swans, Godwits, Oystercatchers and many mixed Gulls, I searched for a med gull but didn't see any.
The day was very warm and even saw butterflies, Small Copper, female Common Blue and many Whites. Wild flowers still edge the grassey banks.
