Kingfisher!!!!

For the first time there has been a kingfisher on the moat this evening. Presumably he was reconnoitring as there are no fish in the moat as far as I know. He flew fast and low along the side of the moat I was watching, three times in about twenty minutes. I got my camera but he declined to do a photo flight. I have only seen a kingfisher in the village once - about seven or eight years ago. However I heard that one was seen recently along the stream.
