This Kingfisher was suddenly right there in front of me, I very quickly snapped the  photo and it flew off.  Not sharp, but I love the composition.

Grey Wagtail, reading all about the history of Torr Vale Mill, the UK's longest serving Cotton Mill (1780s to 2000).   Now home to the excellent  Torr Vale Tap, and the superb Cheese Wheel
