Kingfisher

I am excited as this is the first time I have ever managed to photograph a kingfisher.  I have seen them fleetingly on river banks, but they move so fast it is difficult to get a picture.  However, when walking around the Heritage Loch today I came across a couple taking some photographs and asked them what they were photographng.  'There is a kingfisher over there' said the lady, 'a passing walker pointed it out to us'.  I stopped and joined them in locating it; it was quite a distance away but we zoomed in to it and took a few shots.  This is the best I got.  Not the best of photographs, but I am still thrilled with it!

It was a cold but very pleasant walk around, and the sun shot most of the time.  We headed to the Farm Museum for a welcome cuppa afterwards, as we don't like the cafe at the loch.

In the morning we had a talk on the Scottish Air Ambulance from a very good speaker who came all the way from Dundee to talk to us.  And it was snowing very lightly this morning, although it is all gone now.
