Скачать или смотреть CCT Stroudwater Canal. Kingfisher at The Ocean, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire.

The Cotswold Canal Trust is restoring / rebuilding a section of the Stroudwater Canal from Stonehouse to Saul Junction, on the Gloucester - Sharpness Canal.

The Ocean, an open area of water on the canal, has been largely drained to facilitate the building of a new railway bridge over the canal.

Any fish found when the section was drained were relocated to the adjoining part of the canal. However, there must be plenty of fish remaining in the muddy pool which is left as this kingfisher has taken up residence in the area. He is not very bothered by the dozens of people who are turning up to watch him.
