2 days out on one post! Last Wednesday I was out with my local birdwatching group at Rye Meads near Harlowwhere I saw my first kingfishers of the year, then today it was 2 hours down at a local reserve just to see what was about and to escape the jobs for an hour or two.
firstly the kingfishers.....
