Isn’t he/she adorable! A spunky wee punky 😊 Super shot Kay.
I haven’t seen a kingfisher in years. I guess I am not hanging out at the right location.
Oh it is wonderful. I love kingfishers (ours are not punk like this one) but I have only seen one once or twice so super special.
This one looks quite distinctive. They’re a wide spread bird.
Got to love that hairdo, it’s style baby! 🙂
I love that windblown look!
On a gnarled piece on driftwood,
This plump little bird is silently sat.
It looks at me, then back at the river;
It looks all around, this way and that.
Its dark, piercing, beady round eyes
Are full of fierce intelligence and cunning.
The colour combination of its amber breast
And turquoise back, looks simply stunning.
It sits there statue-like, patiently waiting
For the right moment to finally arrive.
Then having spotted its unlucky prey,
It suddenly swoops and, into the river, it dives.
