That spec is a kingfisher ...


The chap next to me in the north hide at Radipole Lake had this most huge zoom lens, I had my compact camera. So please excuse me presenting you with a picture with a spec in the middle and saying "that's a Kingfisher" Actually, when I zoom in, I found that you can make out that it's a Kingfisher.
Another Weymouth trip today - another busy train, and more things to see when in Weymouth. On the nature reserve, I think I saw Gadwall, Pidgeon, Wood Pidgeon, Swan, Sparrow, Mallard, Godwit, Blacj Headed Gull, Herring Gull, Great Crested Grebe, Carrion Crow, Domestic Duck, Tern, Moorhead and Tufted Duck ... in addition to the Kingfisher.
