Titchfield harbour & nature reserve.
fishing post.
The King of the fishermen? I spent a few hours this morning watching this female Kingfisher. The female bird is identified by her orange lower mandible. She was feeding on many small Sticklebacks.
Winter Stonechats.
Stonechats at Titchfield Haven this morning the colours are now muted as winter is here.
Canal walk.
A muddy walk along the Titchfield Canal. The canal is a two-mile watercourse between the village of Titchfield and the coast at Titchfield Haven. Starting at the sea I quite like the wall art that had appeared on the back of the toilet block. In my view one up on some of the so-called tags which are appearing everywhere and I am told is art.
A few of the birds I spotted along the route.
A Robin heron and Blackbird.
Waiting for low tide.

At last!
All year I have seen distant glimpses of blue or orange of a Kingfisher flyby on my many walks with the odd picture. However, today, this bird did us proud and perched to fish near where I could watch her fairly closely.
