26th July
After a warm sunny evening in Cookham, the only one forecast this week, we awoke to pouring rain and a chill in the air. Pete went open the crache cover but pulled up short as he saw a kingfisher balanced on our rope. This is the closest we have ever seen this bird and it is so pretty. It sat there in the rain peering into the shallow water hoping for a catch for a short while whilst we quietly retrieved the camera. Annoyingly the photo I got was through the front window so not too crisp, but I will upload it when we get home. Unzipping the cover to try and get a better shot disturbed him despite my trying to do it stealthily, and he shot off. A treat to have him that close though.
