Kingfisher on Watch

From £32.00

A kingfisher holds still on a bare branch, that electric blue-and-orange plumage doing all the work against the green behind it. They perch like this for long stretches between dives, watching the water for the slightest movement.

About the Common Kingfisher

A common kingfisher can dive more than 25 times a day to catch enough fish to feed itself and, in the breeding season, a nest of chicks, plunging from a perch at speed to stun small fish outright. Despite the name, it's an uncommon, easily overlooked bird away from the right stretch of clean, slow-moving water.
