Kingfisher

I had waited for a while before doing the Kingfisher posting. I had hoped that I might see the Kingfisher and perhaps even get a photograph. Today as I was leaving this afternoon the Kingfisher flew across in front of me. When I was coming home I got the camera ready as I came up the drive and, lo and behold, as I came round the corner the Kingfisher was going to the nest. She (?) did an about turn and flew up into one of the big trees nearby. I managed some photos of her complete with the food for her youngsters. Thank heavens for the 18X optical magnification of the Olympus.
