Kingfisher A blue flash and a whistling call: this is how a kingfisher often announces itself.
Unmistakably colored blue and orange. Slightly plump build with a short tail and a large head and beak. White throat and side neck. Wings and crown greenish blue with a clear blue back and rump. Often sits upright on a low-hanging branch above the water, looking for fish. Flies loudly over the water and is then clearly visible. Females have an orange-red beak base, the male is black.
Preferably fish but also water insects such as dragonfly larvae. Fish are taken to the seat and hit against a branch before being swallowed. Hunts from a seat post and also prays regularly. Dives into the water to get its prey.
Last week i made these pictures.
thanks for looking !
