In a long cutting I spotted a kingfisher, our first for a while. We had a few more sightings in the cutting. Several of the birds sat still as we drove by, in some cases with their backs to us showing their grey wings and blue backs. We saw one a bird zooming under one of the high and narrow bridges. I coasted slowly through the bridge with the engine off, and we were rewarded with the sight of the kingfisher only a boats width away from us.
