Killing an hour

Busy day with the family but had an hour to kill so went back to Pwll Penarth walked into the first hide and he gave me just enough time to fire 3 shots this being the best, he did come back a few times but did not settle as a female Sparrow Hawk sat in a near by tree.

    I was planning on taking a stroll down Pwll Penarth this morning, gutted I did not get round to it now. My boys will be very keen to go next weekend as they as desperate to see a kingfisher.
