Young Kingfisher's WingsWorkOut
Immediately after leaving the nest, this young kingfisher dives straight into the undergrowth.
Again very happy to be able to witness the fledgling of young kingfishers. This is a very nice and interesting experience every time. Exciting too, because you have to stay more than one hundred percent focused on the nest entrance in order not to miss anything. The young kingfisher is very fast and can hardly be followed when he or she leaves the nest. The light conditions leave much to be desired, it was again very early - 06:00 - to not miss anything.
My thanks again go to Hennie Hoefakker who, due to all his special knowledge and love for the kingfisher, has once again been perfectly able to determine the exact fledging-date ...... hats off man and thank you !!
