River Rea and Bourn Brook walkway 9.00
Pair of kingfisher about one mile apart on the Rea. For the first one, I looked from a bridge over the Rea at a heron, I didn't know the kingfisher was there until it flew from the wall past the heron. The other kingfisher was present in it's normal spot (they were not far from this years nest 1 and 2). The Bourn Brook kingfisher was also perched on the wall, it's usual spot. Later on I stopped to look for it again and it wasn't there. Then I found it further up the brook by another bridge with a big pool formed by the brook. It flew under the bridge before flying past me. Further along the brook I was treated to a GSWP over the brook, that didn't want to budge. Then another appeared and I thought how nice a pair, before they started to have a fight and chase after each other. After seeing the pair of buzzard at Woodgate Valley CP there was a few chaffinch in a bush by the Bourn Brook. A great morning!!
