Exploring the lake.
Over the course of the past week have been seeing the adult female in new spots across west lake in Victoria Park.
Shoreditch's identity is part of its appeal. Understanding the neighborhood helps position a property for the demand around it.

Autumn vibes
As the leaves change colour, the kingfisher starts to almost blend in with them.
Look at that lipstick
The whole of her lower bill is orange, indicating not only is she is a female, but is quite a mature bird.
She was quite comfortable with me standing just a few metres away.

The princess of the park
The view of this female kingfisher in Victoria Park might have been obscured a little by leaves and branches, but she was still just a few metres away. What a wonderful feeling it is to get this close.
Hiding - you don't always get a clear view of the kingfisher
It is the first time I have seen this female on what last autumn was a very regular kingfisher perch in Victoria Park.

Double trouble
After getting this close up sighting in Victoria Park this morning of this female, off she went - quickly followed, rather to my surprise, by another kingfisher.

Joseph Merrick was so much more than a spectacle. Born in 1862, he faced unimaginable cruelty, yet was thoughtful, creative, and deeply gentle. A story immortalised in The Elephant Man movie. He didn't want curiosity; he wanted acceptance. 🧵 #eastlondon #history
