Thanks SM, this place is right in the middle of a massive brand new housing estate, so was nice to see wildlife is important to them. I shall return as they have Kingfishers aswell but too quick fir me that time!

Re: A Few From Barons Haugh
It's so nice to sit and watch the kingies again On the River
And as I wait Mr toad was at my feet
Sorry am being a tad lazy with pics as late , it's tiring sitting in the sunshine
Must be tiring building a nest!
You canny unhear a chiffchaff noo as they are out in force

Nice ones, Linda. I never see toads or frogs, perhaps you'd gone bare foot and they were attracted to the hairy webbing? 
Lovely to see Kingie

Lovely photo's of the kingfisher Linda, I did see one fly by a week or so ago, but needless to say no picture again...
