Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). I love this shot with the fish and the cormorant reflected in the water!
Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus). This kestrel made me laugh a bit with her feathery legs - I think she looks like a cowboy in chaps! :))
(Alcedo atthis). I spent a very pleasant couple of hours in the company of this youngster, He did manage to catch a few fish but kept flying to a far off perch to eat them!
Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) Our apartment problems have finally been resolved (after 9 very long months) and we are back home permanently. Thanks to all my Flickr friends who have faved and commented during this time despite me not always having the time or facilities to reciprocate. Hopefully normal service is now resumed!

Robin (Erithacus rubecula). This very scruffy robin came to sit by me while I was watching for kingfishers. He was hopping and limping badly on his left foot and allowed me to get within touching distance. He suddenly realised I had no food so he put his foot down, hopped away normally and then flew off! The next time he came back there was no sign of his 'limp'!
Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis). Happy New Year Flickr friends. Enjoy your celebrations and I hope 2023 brings all that you wish for!
