I spent hours in a hide yesterday hoping to catch a glimpse of a Kingfisher. It was ridiculously hot in there. Outside was 30C, inside was more! So this Hobby which flew by was a welcome sight and kept me going whilst I sweated it out. Edited August 27, 2019 by unintended1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
