Here's a Kingfisher..( and no, it's not stuffed, it's not posed, it's not set up it's not been edited other than cropped a bit) It was taken perched in a tree on a local riverbank. I hope you can actually see it Of course.. Who knows these days with Twitter??

Weather forecast was poor but when I woke at 4.50am, I had a look out the window and the sky was AMAZING. I was out the door in 10 minutes and down to the river. This is what I saw. No filters, no editing. Just as it was. @ThePhotoHour @StormHour @YourCoolPics

Extremely saddened to hear that the fan who took unwell at todays game passed away. Watching the medics frantically giving CPR & trying everything they could to save the person was heartbreaking. My thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to those who knew and loved them.😢😢😢
