Despite it being rather early in the season, and the weather having turned colder, a pair of kingfishers have been exploring the nest bank at Rye Meads, and have even been mating nearby. There were excellent views of the female when I was there yesterday, but not near enough for me to try to photograph, so here is a picture of a Tufted Duck instead.
Meanwhile back at Ox Lane the blue tits are now beginning to bring moss into our nest box, so hopefully it will not be long before we are getting interesting pictures from the camera. Perhaps one of the birds is this one I pictured during the winter.
