Went down to the lake again today to clear some more weeds. Relaxing afterwards I spotted a pair kingfishers again . I also saw another one a reddish brown in colour but too far away to identify .next Time I go to Nong Khai I will but a pair of binoculars from the street market.  Our dog (saw) has now been taken of his chain so he can roam around freely. Yesterday Tim caught somebody trying to steel some bananas but they ran away before they could be caught. Hopefully saw should deter any future thefts.
