Yet again I was at the hide at first light and the action started almost immediately, even before it was properly light a Grey Heron landed just to my right. Then another, as a territorial dispute got in to full swing. Suddenly with an alarm call, the young Kingfisher landed on the perch in front and with yet another call, left almost immediately. Then another Kingfisher called from the other direction, obviously another territorial dispute. 10 minutes later a Kingfisher was on the perch again, (see above), and I suspect that this was the other bird. The main act today though were the Little Egrets that I have been trying to get good photos of, feeding I hope. Its quite exciting as they approach the hide, fishing avidly as they get nearer and nearer, until they are right in font just a few feet away. at this point they usually suspect that something is a bit unusual, perhaps they hear the camera shutter, but they usually fly off at thais point. Not before I have taken some geat close ups though.
