Today would have been a good day. The weather is reasonably clear and bright with a slight southerly wind. In a Southerly you should always check the sheltered areas on the north side of the scrubby patches as bird activity tends to concentrate here. The problem with the Aylestone Meadows on nice days is its magnetic ability to draw in the gay cruising fraternity who also favour the sheltered edges and the best habitat. This generally means it's a no go unless your wearing a pair of trousers that only Houdini could get out of. Type Aylestone Meadows into Google and see what comes up, Today is a busy day!
Undetered, I decided to do the boardwalk and try and get some shots of the kingfisher which has been frequenting the pools on a regular basis. What do I get for my efforts ? One Black Rabbit, a poor shot of a winter plumaged Reed Bunting and a middle-aged glue sniffer practising Jackie Chan moves!
