 It’s great when you can sit and have a cup of coffee and scone and take pictures as well.

Clara Vale & Far Pastures

 A couple of weeks ago I paid a visit to the hides at Clara Vale and Far Pastures. I hadn’t been in the hide long at Clara when a Kingfisher arrived it stayed around for a while but it was mostly distant. There wasn’t much from the hide at Far Pastures however up the lane were Red Kite and Buzzard.
