At the end of august, going into september, i started to make some early morning visits to find and photograph the kingfishers there. Once i'd located where they were frequenting i set myself up and the wait began. Before long they would make a few flights past and occassionally land on one of there perches, this one in particular a metal post, eventually over the space of a few days and very cramped up legs, i obtained some reasonable pictures. A bonus on the early morning visits was viewing the deer before they ventured further into the woods and got a few nice pics of fallow deer and also chinese water deer. But the most unexpected and frequent visitor was a mink which showed well enough for me to get a picture or two.
