I'm off to Rye Meads Nature Reserve for the day today, where I believe a brood of kingfisher chicks have just hatched! Hoping to get some photos of them!!
And the weather doesn't look too bad.....keep your fingers crossed for me!

Well....no kingfishers, no otters, no voles....nothing at all really!  I've never been to a place where so little was going on!Some peeps in a hide said thay'd seen a kingfisher 5 minutes before we arrived, but it never appeared again while we were there. We heard loads of birds singing, but rarely saw them. Only two butterflies! No squirrels even. A couple of dragonflies, but considering it was full of ponds, there should have been hundreds!  Very odd.But at least it didn't rain!

Yes it was a nice place to visit - it was lovely by the River Stort too, Viv! The first thing we came across, even before we got there, was this It was a gorgeous little building!!I took a few shots...a Skipper butterfly, a cormorant, and some silly ducks! I would appreciate comments from those of you who are Flickr-ers!
