Kingfisher in the Spring Sunshine
Kingfisher Latin Name: Alcedo atthis
Kingfishers are on the Amber list. 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. They are a vulnerable to hard winters and habitat degradation through pollution or unsympathetic management of watercourses. Kingfishers are amber listed because of their unfavourable conservation status in Europe.

ReplyDeleteKingfishers are a group of small to medium sized brightly coloured birds in the order coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species being found in the old world and Australia. Thanks a lot!
