Before we went down to Devon, the top attraction in the area we were heading was a group of two or three penduline tits, which were being reported every day. They were reported while we were on the journey travelling down, then not sighted again until we were under way travelling back home. Often the way with bird watching.
As a consolation this kingfisher was in a reedbed on our first visit to the RSPB Dart’s Farm hide to try to see them.
It was so far away that it is just a dot in the picture, but its electric blue feathers against the dull yellow of the vegetation makes it unmistakable.
