Diving Kingfisher
A second visit to photograph the Kingfishers at the end of April. The day started overcast with very light rain. But the brightened up slightly.
At last I managed to catch a Kingfisher Diving. Unfortunately on this dive it was not successful.
Kingfishers are small unmistakable bright blue and orange birds of slow moving or still water. They fly rapidly, low over water, and hunt fish from riverside perches, occasionally hovering above the water's surface.
Only the male Kingfisher was seen throughout the day. But it was returning regularly to catch fish where it would dive and catch a fish for itself and then dive and catch a second fish before flying off.
