Unusual Tales of the Riverbank
Monday, September 10th 2012
On Sunday a group of photographers in the lake hide watching out for Kingfishers had a surprise! This mammal was spotted being chased across the lake by a Moorhen.
Only when it reached the far side was it identified….
as it climbed up the bank the squirrel was unmistakable!
At least two Kingfishers were seen both here and in the scrapes area.
