KOI ~ KINGFISHER ~ CORMORANT

I dropped by the Kingbridge Conference Centre, on Jane Street, south of Kinghorn, a week ago to take a photo  of the pond and fountain (see above).  Just after I took this photo, an employee of Kingbridge was passing by and asked me if I saw the kingfisher.   I said yes I did and commented that  I was surprised to think there could be many fish in such a shallow pond which had so much algae in it.   The fellow told me someone had dumped some koi fish in the pond, which caught the eye of a kingfisher.   The colourful koi was easily spotted by the kingfisher and observers recognized the fish species as the Kingfisher flew past with a koi in its beak.   It wasn't long before a passing cormorant also spotted a koi and helped itself to a fish dinner also.   It will be interesting to see how this summer saga plays out and long the koi last.

Two roses side by side on same plant...

These two roses are less than 6" apart on the same small rose bush in our garden but are quite different in appearance.

Another reason why June is joyous.
