The sun was out so I returned to Greenway with my scope and camera. As soon as we started walking from Greenway Bridge a Common Kingfisher zoomed past us. The Little Grebe was on the Greenway straight and quite shy. It disappeared underwater regularly and ended up right in the far side growth. I was failed to take a picture. A Common Buzzard perched on a post in a distant hedge near Sellake Bridge. Just past Sellake Bridge a Song Thrush crossed our paths into the field below the canal. I caught a brief glimpse of the female Common Stonechat I saw yesterday and a bit further on a female type Blackcap showed well. As we walked back to Greenway Bridge a second Common Kingfisher zipped by then pulled up sharply into a tree overlooking the canal. In no time I was opposite it and got some fantastic pictures. I was really glad to have successfully captured a Kingfisher in a photograph. I tried again at the Little Grebe on the way back with no luck. A second Common Buzzard glided overhead into the fields.
