Kingfisher Watch #3

Two kingfisher watch posts in as many days, but once again there was good news today and therefore I simply had to share it.

Today I was lucky enough to see two kingfishers!

I stood across the river in the usual place where they can be seen and where I saw the kingfisher yesterday, but saw nothing. As I moved on, I suddenly heard one calling and went back. I was able to make one of them out sitting on a branch just above the water, and then another one flew out of the tree and over towards the usual nesting site.

I’m assuming that they’re a male and a female and hopefully they will now breed and rear some chicks.

For further information on kingfishers, check out the RSPB‘s information on them. There is also a recording of what their call sounds like.
