Another kingfisher visit

Another sunny morning, and I was back in Endcliffe Park, this time to see if I could spot one of the pair of kingfishers that can be seen in the winter around one of the ponds there. Today the light was better than when I visited (and blipped) the other week.
When I got there at 9, the path by the pond was crowded with Saturday morning runners - in their hundreds. I now know there is a weekly mass run from 9 to 10 a.m. on Saturdays.
So I went off for an hour's walk in the other direction, and came back at 10. This time the only other hopeful photographer was a young girl, aged somewhere between 10 and 12  at a guess. It really was lovely to be in her company. She was completely intent on watching for the kingfisher; we exchanged a few comments, but mainly we just shared the quiet moments. And she's good. She showed me one of her shots, a lovely one taken the other day. Neither of us managed to capture the kingfisher in flight, but we both enjoyed watching as the bird eyed up the morning's fishing opportunities.
