I haven't seen much of the Kingfishers lately. I've been focusing on my local pair at Croft and so haven't seen the Connie pair at all. A parent and offspring were spotted this morning though at Low Connie, so it can be said they have raised one this year.

My conclusion for now on the Croft pair is that they have given up breeding for this year. There seems to be no localised activity anywhere on the stretch of river they operate on. I have seen, (mostly heard) them on a couple of occasions at both ends of where I think their territory is, and have followed up each with no luck. I did however at one point think they might be nesting up the Skerne after hearing and seeing them around the entrance to the Tees...
