Kingfishers Showing Well at Marazion

Went out to try and get the Kingfisher today at Marazion.  Noticed last week a couple of perches  were in regular use. Got in position and within 15 minutes two Kingfishers came through the reeds together. Anyhow they fished in the area on/off for the next couple of hours.  Despite rubbish lighting and a long distance I did get some record shots. You can view/photograph them from the left side of the East wall up a channel behind the small island. Below also is a Egret enjoying a dragonfly snack!!! Wagtail bathing and a Dunnock.

My two favourites are the Egret and the wagtail. I reckon I saw you last night down on the reserve. I went down to Red River to see if the Bairds and stint was still there. Couldn't find one wader.Anyway once again a great set.
