Heron, just upstream from The Cathedral, giving the river a good hard stare.
Council workers are busy sawing down trees along Pitchcroft.
How do they know it's time to chop a tree down?
They are all about the same age (one presumes) and height.
Do they tap 'em or summat to check whether they have got tree-rot?
It's a dark science.
Highly cropped photo No1.
Can you spot the kingfisher?
It's right at the top of the highest branch of the dead tree that's fallen into the river.
You'll have to take our word for it but it is there.
A neighbour told us that it's a good place to see them.
She's not wrong.
Saw 2 on Friday and this one today.
That's 12 sightings between us in 11 years. Prior to Friday it was 9 in 11.
That ratio, with luck, should continue to improve somewhat from now on.
Highly cropped photo No2:
Photo of a pigeon roosting in a neighbours autumnal tree taken through our kitchen window.
Vicky, just below, and driving off on a mission to various retail outlets, unfortunately, just out of shot.
