Kingfisher at last!

Ever since we moved into Hob Moor Drive people have told us that there are Kingfishers in the beck. Up to now we had never seen one, then this morning as I walked back from dropping Rowan off at school, a flash of electric blue, and there was a Kingfisher speeding down the beck. It was a beautiful sight. The reason I spotted it, was that the beck banks have been trimmed by tractor over the last week. This happens every year, but was done with more care and rigour this time. Consequently it is easier to see what is going on in the becks. A great way to start the week.
