Sparkle

A day of low light, rain and the wind gradually picking up. I ventured out for a walk before work and despite the dismal weather, it was a joy to be outside.

The vegetation along the stream is filled with colours and just beyond it in the water, there were coots and moorhens gliding about and calling to each other.

I saw a kingfisher here several weeks ago. It was perched very close to me on a branch overhanging the water. It’s the best view I’ve ever had of a kingfisher and made my day. I didn’t see him or her today, but I’ll keep my hopes up that I will be fortunate enough to see its glistening blue and orange feathers again one day.

I hope your day has had a little sparkle of some kind or another. Take care and best wishes.
