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.

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.
