  This magpie from this morning also arguably looks a little blue. I think I read somewhere (probably here?) that the blue we see on birds like the kingfisher is a trick of the light.

  From early this morning on the Lea, a jay, which I had seen recently but not been able to snap, a couple of clearer shots of a kingfisher, and a speeding heron - a lucky result of incorrect settings

  I saw the most incredible meteor last night around 7pm, roughly in the direction of Mars. Part of the Quadrantid shower, which might still be visible tonight.
