It was Bridie's baby shower yesterday and that meant my job was to keep Maria occupied whilst preparations were completed and so we went on a trip to Blashford followed by the park in Fordingbridge.
We were treated to clear views of a kingfisher perching on reeds and twigs and plunging into the water to snatch small fish from the lake at Blashford. It's the first time I've seen a kingfisher perched, usually a flash of blue and that's it, and it was a real treat to see how colourful it is. We also saw lots of birds at the woodland hide and Maria was able to watch a rabbit through some binoculars. She prefers to look at things the wrong way round so they look further away!
Then it was on to the park at Fordingbridge and we'd prepared lots of bread to feed the ducks. There were plenty of takers including some ducklings, quite late in the year.
