Constable's kingfisher found

Restorers cleaning John Constable's The Mill Stream have found a kingfisher streaking over the water. Previously it was obscured by dirt and old varnish. More here.
The painting belongs to Christchurch Museum in Ipswich. I'd love to be able to link to something on their homepage explaining more about the news, but, as is so often the case, the museum's almost non existent digital footprint means it isn't able to capitalise on the publicity windfall.
