Moments before I took this photo a beautiful Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) emerged from beneath the bridge I'm standing on and sped downstream; you'll just have to imagine it though, as the Kingfisher's an illusive bird, glimpsed more often than seen. The frequent vertical nature of the banks along this section of Highland Water are well suited to the Kingfisher's burrow, and the stream healthy enough to support their dietary needs. I always feel blessed to glimpse these majestic birds, and this morning more so as it remained in sight for longer than usual. I was lucky today.
