I had the day off on the Tuesday so we went over to Fairburn for a wander. Somehow in all these years and MANY Fairburn visits, we'd not quite managed to get them there.
As we walked up to the 1st hide - the one just behind the visitor centre looking west over the next lake, the people inside were shusshing us and beckoning us forward. The kingfisher was sat there on a twig. Gorgeous. There are no pics of him as we were a bit too far away and I only had my phone camera, but this is them smiling afterwards!!!!

| Yay! Just seen the kingfisher! |

| I had to stop the children from fighting!!! |
...and we sat for a while in the hide which is in the middle of the long lake...
...admiring the view...
We were getting a bit peckish so we stopped off at The Chequers Inn in Ledsham which is literally just around the corner from Fairburn.
Mum and Dad were REALLY impressed with the place - the menu, the surroundings, and, the fabulous food!!!
Check out the fishcakes Mum and I had, and the fabulous venison Dad had!
We sat out in their lovely pub garden!
A thrush was nesting in the ivy over our heads and was nipping in and out as we ate!
It was a really lovely day out!!!!
