Another early start at the Pools, in the hope that something might have dropped in or stayed over night ( Redshank from the previous evening perhaps!) As with so many of these 2007 Summer mornings there was not a lot happening. A female Shoveler was in the north bay sifting through the margins, with one or two snipe making a brief appearance amongst the vegetation.
So back to the main hide and see if the Kingfisher would make a show this morning? it was a long wait but a flash of brilliant blue heralded the arrival of a Male bird, not able to tell if it was one of the four that have been seen on the pools at any one time, it settled down for a bit of stretching and preening before partaking of its lunch, in fact several lunch's a roach and a large stickleback.
Only one Redstart was found in the hedge between the car park and the oak tree, but a Red Kite drifted across the fishing pond disappearing behind the conifers up on the ridge whilst I was checking the broom area of the quarry.
