The weather was nice today so took a quick trip around Forest Farm, but only managed a few standard shots here and there however, so this Kingfisher was a shot taken from the first hide on my last trip over just before Christmas that I forgot to upload at the time. There was plenty of GS Woodpecker activity in the area, and I had a quick flyover after I stood chatting to a gentleman listening to one drumming shortly after arriving not far from the hides. The chap informed me he had seen Brambling at the Llyn Y Gamlas hide recently so I thought I'd go check it out, but there wasn't much in the way of things to see, and I moved on after a short while.
I then saw at least two kingfishers over on the canal, and there were perhaps three present, but definitely at least two as I saw a pair chasing each other; possibly rival males. Out of the usual for the canal was a Little Grebe, keeping a low profile and sticking quite rigidly to the far side. A couple of Nuthatch were busy feeding near the lock on the last leg of the lap.
