Diamond Aircraft DA 42, twin engine, four seat . . .

       Caught the kingfisher (extra) and a red-shafted flicker was about but too far away to get a decent (for me) shot. I startled a dozen mule dear too.

       Kiki had to complete the walk - more of a dawdle really.

       Reading Christopher Fowler's Peculiar London, featuring Bryant & May, for some light relief.
