 The gloomy conditions of the past week have not been conducive to bird photography so this afternoon after concluding my domesticities I wandered along to the North Wall with Big Bertha who was fed up with being  confined to barracks for so long!
On arrival at the Salt House I was pleasantly surprised to find  fellow photographer ...'Friends of the Fourth Groyne'  concentrating his efforts in attempting to obtain shots of a Kingfisher in a very difficult and dark location .
 Alongside much banter I attempted  to get a few record shots and now and again the bird did actually come out from its hiding place and briefly chose a perch in the late afternoon sunshine. Nothing to write home about but at least something for the blog!

In the sun.

Back on his usual post.

On the alert.
