Another visit to Kingfisher

Decided to give the Kingfisher another visit
 



 

Osprey, Whinchats and supporting cast

This week has been a great week for birding, first a visit to Hazelwood Marsh and finally got to see the Osprey it some what distant (3/4 of a mile away, so only record shots)



 
Whinchats at Shingle Street (5 there on Saturday)
 



 
 





 
 





 
Whilst photographing one of the Whinchats, this young Stoat popped out of the grass right in front of me and walked right up to me and sat on my shoe and started to nibble my tripod, I only managed to get these out of focus shots as he was too close for my 500mm lens
