For me, it's a kingfisher.
I'm spending a few days at the caravan in leafy North Yorkshire.
There are fewer people about during the week, and today I saw a kingfisher, perched on the handrail of a footbridge over a stream.
I first saw one in the same place a couple of years ago.
The front window of my caravan overlooks the stream, which means the kingfisher doesn't know I'm here if I stay still.
I once saw him dive in and come up with a small fish.
A truly marvellous sight.
Is there a bird or a animal you've come across which has been an unexpected delight?
