"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"
