Good morning.
As I only have one, very distant shot of a Kingfisher, I think I will leave the Alt #Blue theme, so I will go with Rob's first choice theme of #WaterBirds for today's #BirdOfTheDay

I could hear some commotion in the tree outside my bedroom window. Looked out and there were some Long Tailed Tits. Ran and grabbed the camera, the LTTs flew off. However on closer inspection one solitary bird remained. Never seen one in my garden before #Birds #BirdPhotography

Normally I would be watching the 🏈 but I can't be bothered tonight.
So instead here's a #SuperbOwl for #SuperbOwlSunday

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, Alan has chosen #Serenity - there's no other bird that encapsulates Serenity better than a Swan. So I am copying Alan today.

Today we took a walk along the river before football. Two, yes two (!), Kingfishers flew past.

Of course I didn't have my camera!

For @javajanegallery.co.uk's #SmallBirdSaturday I have gone with a beautiful Goldfinch that visits my garden with a flock of Goldfinch.
