The Common Kingfisher

Look out on the perches by the water and you might just spot a kingfisher, a beautiful, vibrantly-coloured bird. It is an unrivalled fisherman, always on the lookout for small fish.
It dives like a torpedo deep into the water to catch fish to nourish itself. Often all you can see is the turquoise glint of its feathers as it glides like lightning onto its next feeding ground.
