a Kingfisher look that says it all!!

Here's an amusing photo that doesn't meet the gallery criteria but which I thought some of you might like to see. I couldn't resist setting up our regular garden visitor in this way but I think her look portrays her disdain and contempt for my little joke - probably well deserved

Jeff

Great pic. It looks like it is thinking about this dilemma!

Nice one Jeff, she certainly appears to be taking stock and thinking of a way round this one

It's a great shot Jeff! I bet she takes not a blind bit of notice of it either!

Re: a Kingfisher look that says it all!!

Thanks all for your kind words and I certainly do know how lucky I am to have such a regular visitor.

and Yes Graham and Wild-Woman, you're right - she hasn't taken a blind bit of notice, not that I'd ever want her to stop visiting anyway

Re: a Kingfisher look that says it all!!

Great shot Jeff - but if you don't stop bragging about your very own kingfisher you'll soon be Jeffy No Mates!

Don't mean it, of course, we love to see the photos.
