Travelling at lightning-fast speeds, Kingfishers are notoriously difficult to spot! ๐Ÿ” Their speed, however, makes them fearsome predators, catching several fish a day ๐ŸŸ Have you been lucky enough to see a Kingfisher by your local canal or river? Weโ€™d love to see your photos ๐Ÿ“ธ

"Owl" save you! ๐Ÿฆ‰๐Ÿ’™ One of our colleagues came to the rescue of an owl that had got itself a bit stuck along the Staff & Worc. canal. Thanks to the help of a passing boater and the @RSPCA_official , we are pleased to report this feathered friend is back in nature. #FridayFeeling
