We had a late start this Sunday, both a bit weary after the long day with the deer and some jobs to catch up on. Mid afternoon all tasks were completed and we took in a walk by the Leeds Liverpool canal, the sun was shining and the sky was blue.
I promised the chance of seeing the kingfisher as we strolled, I had been on my own for the previous sightings, pretty soon we spotted the little beauty peeping from a bush..
Unfortunately it flew a good distance away before we could get a better view, luckily it went in the direction we were heading.
This moorhen provided a lovely reflection..
We then approached the area we had seen the kingfisher fly to, walking cautiously and carefully, above all hoping no-one else appeared!!
We were in luck, first a slightly bashful look from the kingfisher before a more classic pose:-)
Eventually the inevitable happened, cyclists approached and off it went..
We did track it down again, a long distance zoom and not a great shot..
A lovely couple of hours in the warm sunshine, a good look at the kingfisher for us both, what a super walk.
The golden autumn leaves on the trees just added to the beauty:-)
That little Kingfisher is a ltttle beauty, your patience was well rewarded with that final superb shot. Lovely reflection of the moorhen too.
