Hey - managed to drag 3 DGC to local Nature Reserve today (yesterday!), under the pretext of going to the excellent adventure play area. Tricked them into a walk round the lodge, and up to the weir and was rewarded by their excitement when we spotted the local kingfisher. I discovered that the aforementioned 5 year old DGD had previously thought that a kingfisher was a fish and was looking for it under the water. When she saw it fly across the water she said in amazement, "A fish with wings!!" I don't think she'll ever forget that moment when she realised it was a bird. Neither will I!
We also watched the two swans with 6 'teenage' cygnets and identified moorhen, coots and mallards on the lake and 2 grey wagtails on the rocks on the river. They chatted with the camera carrying 'Twitchers' who were out in force and thoroughly enjoyed themselves before spending another hour 'exercising' in the play area. A great afternoon with the right kind of 'challenges' IMO!
