One of our main reasons for visiting Sculthorpe moore nature reserve was to try and see the Kingfishers there. We got an extremely distant view of one there a couple of years ago and again kingfisher was written several times a day in the sighting book in the hide so we thought we were guaranteed to see one ....Well on our first 2 visits we spent hours looking out over this pond and we saw .. absolutely nothing .... not even a duck as my mum put it So we went back for a third time hoping it would be third time lucky .... and it was there was 3 perches it could have landed on 2 close to the hide and one on the far side of the pond ... you can guess which one it landed on : But at least we got to see it and get a few half decent photos: for looking
