In Search Of Kingie

So we decided about 6pm to go a wee wander up the Haugh to see if the Kingfisher was about and it would be cooler up there next to the water lol.

Immediately as we approached its usual spot on the river....a flash of blue flew to a tree

Well it's there you just gotta find it lol

And after that it was just flying past laughing at us as it was constantly flying towards the sun !!! but I set out to find it and I did!

Next a wanted to see an owl...Well that didny happen lol

Not many birds to be seen not much water either !!!

Came across a resting butterfly for a change!!!

Some chaffis followed us or escorted us up a very overgrown path

Who then deserted us but left us with some Bullfinches

I took a pic of this woodpigeon taking off only to realise when I got home there is a Heron sitting at the base of the tree ....I never even saw it at the time lol

And just as we were about to turn and head back up hill...I had a last quick look across the river..

Some activity....

And in the trees some spotted flycatchers were flying back and forth

Then one landed on a tree on my side of the river...very nice of it to do so 

Some young goldies stopped in the same tree

Well I was thrilled I saw so much so late in the day and we then decided to go down the park and watch the sun set to finish off our lovely evening out

Looking a tad heavy to be standing on one leg lol

And that concludes our fab evening out....hope you all enjoyed as much as we did.

Thanks for looking ;-)
