We watched it for close on half an hour diving in and out of the water. Like your little grebe it was very, very fast. I tried to get a photo but all I got was a blue blur - but at least I know the blur was a kingfisher. Little grebe with a minnow - a fab shot!<br />JuneJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519222546233157254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-33885202288770760882013-02-23T21:56:30.632+00:002013-02-23T21:56:30.632+00:00That's an amazing photo Rosie!

We did it in stages Middleton top to Black Rock, Black rock to the junction and from the basin up to the junction. I haven't been much further along the canal than the junction but we did once see water voles just along there as well as the dabchicks:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.com
