Kingfisher at the Canal

I had just started on my way back home, walking down the Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal, when I saw a flash of blue in the trees. I only had my phone with me that has a very poor camera. But both these photos do have a speck of blue if you look hard enough. A beautiful kingfisher.

As I walked down the canal path, the bird flew from tree to tree just ahead. And I followed just behind. I stopped when the kingfisher stopped. Once near the end of this section of the canal path, a lady coming towards me from the opposite direction also stopped when I pointed out the bird, for which she was delighted. I just wish I had my camera.
