With things going quiet just lately my thoughts turned to sites in the region that hold their own spaecialities.
Just lately the kingfishers have been back at Tophill, so there I went.
Quite a strong wind had loads of swifts feeding along the edge of D res along with a few little gulls.
The hide was empty when I got there and it took about 2 hours for the kingfisher to show, but I was kept entertained by numerous reed warblers, a juvenile heron and a family of little grebes.
The kingfisher stayed for around 10 minutes giving some fantastic views.
