Three juvenile moorhens have survived (so far) and are now settled in with the two parents on the island. They are all quite shy and skittery so we never see them that close up, but they seem quite happy where they are, safe on the island and with lots to eat.

A kingfisher has appeared on the pond for the first time. A brief glimpse earlier in the week but today confirmed as we watched it wait patiently on a branch over the water before diving down to catch a fish (a small roach).

It took a while but at last we managed to get a close-up photo of the kingfisher waiting to catch a fish on the pond, just as the sun came out.
