Common Kingfisher
Common Kingfisher / alcedo atthis. 16/05/19.
'BEAK THAT PACKS A PUNCH.' (1) Kingfisher.
Only just up from a dive, this male Kingfisher did a quick turn around and got himself ready for another attempt at catching a fish.
Back in the nesting chamber were a hungry brood and his mate, all needed feeding. The little guy worked tirelessly throughout the day while the female bird only showed up three times. I think her attentions must have been focussed on brooding, which suggests the young were newly hatched.
