We had a visitor on Monday, well at least it was seen on Monday but I didn’t see it today, so I am assuming it has gone. It was a Coot, nothing very exciting but it is the first Coot on this part of the Slea since late Summer.
There were 5 Dabchicks between Hub and the Mill but I didn’t see any past the Mill today, so I am still unsure if any of them move between above and below the weir at the Mill or not. I did not see our Lone Duckling today either, so I will look very closely the next time I go down, hoping that he is ok.
I do see the Kingfisher(s) fairly often but it is normally just a quick flash of blue going by, but almost exactly a year ago I could get much closer to them like this (taken last year)…
