It has got really cold now more like winter, the light and the chill as it has been damp and overcast all day, lunch time was brightened up by the sight of a pair of Kingfishers of all places in Cambridge outside the botanical gardens along Trumpington road, only a short walk from the City centre, it is amazing how this brightly coloured bird goes undetected as people walk, cycle or drive past.

We have often seen a kingfisher along here and sightings are more regular as the temperature starts to go down so to see two together along here was a bonus, is this a sign we are about to get a spell of true Winter weather?.

If we about to get a cold snap then perhaps we will get sightings of winter thrushes closer to our homes as they start to look for berries or we may get Waxwings from Scandinavia, we have an apple tree in our road that is laden with apples, I shall keep a close eye on it this next few days just in case we get any on there like we did two years ago when I took the photograph below.
