This #swan was preening on the #ExeterCanal (and so was its #reflection).
The canal (see last post) was more atmospheric in the morning mist than I managed to capture. The Purple Heron sat in a tree for quite a while before flying off.

An early start this morning to try for closer views of the Purple Heron on Exminster Marshes. Initially, I couldn't find it and walked in completely the wrong direction. Luckily, another birder found it and I hurtled back up the towpath to catch some pretty good views.

Always good to see a Kingfisher and even better to see it fishing.
