Finally ! A kingfisher !

Having spotted the kingfisher on a few early morning outings i was aware that one was around. So yesterday afternoon as i was rather excitedly trying (and failing) to get a good photograph of the notoriously hard to spot Snipe, i heard their unmistakable call. So, i positioned myself where i could see several posts (possible perches for fishing) and waited. After about an hour i saw a flash of blue, and was able to see this little guy for about 30 seconds. Then he was gone. I would say is worth it, i have never seen such intense colour on any animal.

British wildlife center - Fox

At the weekend i was lucky enough to have a trip to the British wildlife center in Surrey wit my dad for a photo day with the photographer David Lloyd and a few other members of public. I had an amazing time and got to see some of my favorite species that i had never seen before such as stoats, mink, wildcats and polecats. My next few uploads are going to be photos from that day, starting with the foxes, which we were able to get into the enclosure with.
