Kingfisher, Pinkfeet

Rather a dull morning today, but relatively calm.  In the hide, a Kingfisher appeared and sat on a post beyond the first island for a short while.  As usual, the light was appalling, but it was nice to capture anyway.  Continuing on, I heard the unmistakeable sound of Pinkfeet overhead, and just a small-ish skein went through, around 27 birds.
