The hide was only completed last Tuesday and, as hides go, I must say it is an excellent addition to the reserve and for the local birders. I can imagine many an hour will be spent inside, over the months and years ahead. Not much about on the lagoons this morning, but a Kingfisher put in an appearance, albeit a little distant from the hide. I managed a few record shots. I&#8217;m sure better opportunities will be forth coming. It was a male by the all black bill, females have an orange base to the bill. Another day of dull grey conditions, making photography a little difficult. High ISO = Noisy Pictures. Oh for some prolonged sunshine. I&#8217;m running out of days now to add to my year list. As is typical at this time of year, a major rarity was discovered, a Mourning Dove was found in a garden in Lerwick on Shetland. Typical, another good bird on a far flung island, so not quite sure what to do about this one YET!!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4418.jpg\" alt=\"Kingfisher_J4X4418\" width=\"1150\" height=\"711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4418.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4418-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4418-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4418-700x433.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1150px) 100vw, 1150px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher-_J4X4394.jpg\" alt=\"Kingfisher _J4X4394\" width=\"1150\" height=\"711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher-_J4X4394.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher-_J4X4394-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher-_J4X4394-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher-_J4X4394-700x433.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1150px) 100vw, 1150px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13205\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4454.jpg\" alt=\"Kingfisher_J4X4454\" width=\"1150\" height=\"711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4454.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4454-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4454-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4454-700x433.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1150px) 100vw, 1150px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4476.jpg\" alt=\"Kingfisher_J4X4476\" width=\"1150\" height=\"711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4476.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4476-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4476-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Kingfisher_J4X4476-700x433.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1150px) 100vw, 1150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kingfisher<\/strong> &#8211; male &#8211; Willington GP, Derbyshire &#8211; Above four images &#8211; <em>Tony Davison\u00a9<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, 26th December 2015, I decide to go and check out the brand new hide at Willington GP, a Derbyshire Wildlife Trust Reserve.
