Saltaire garden
A Kingfisher is now a daily visitor to an 8m x 4m garden pond, today it was taking small/medium Rudd, some as large as the bird. The bird flies in the direction of Shipley Glen and returns about ten minutes later. Grey Wagtails are also visiting and have been seen on passage. Both Little Owl and Tawny Owl are also present at the moment. Current garden list is currently 85 (includes flyovers).
