Our pool needs some fish
14th July 15 early morning mid section
O/cast occ shower, 14°c, 1015mb, N 2-NNW 3 mph
Ian had a kingfisher on the Wetland site on saturday and I had one seemingly fishing today ( don't think there's any fish though ) so it's found our pool. It would be good if we could stock it with some small fish.
The weather played its part this morning, not the best, so I was not surprised that not much was going on with the locals but something a little more special may be forced to seek shelter from the rain of the last couple of days. Unfortunately it no such luck.

15th August - kingfisher back at the pool today on an overcast midday. Flew off as we were crossing the bridge from one end, and someone else from the other side.
