Today was indeed a special one. As I ran along the cycle path, there was a flash of metallic blue from low down over the clogged drainage ditch.
It was a kingfisher, seen between the Clay Lane and Barnby Lane bridges. The first I've ever seen here. These birds are always a glorious sight, but to see one on the cycle track, well, golly as they say.
I finished up at Rumbles cafe, where I watched peeping wagtails and squawking gulls feed off bread as the sun set.
