| Re: best spot ever! And, for my own never to be forgotten memory - my brother and I used to visit our grandparents at Uckington, Near Cheltenham and sometimes made our way across the fields to a shallow, narrow area of the river Chelt. As children do, rope swings were tied onto branches and enjoyed by both of us, and other children, but as energy sapped and things became quieter, we saw kingfishers darting to and fro. I've rarely seen them as an adult but the sight of their brilliant plumage and activity remains in my memory with affection. |
