Six Kingfisher Week

On Friday I stopped at Bittell Reservoir and was lucky to time it right that a Kingfisher was on a perch and it flew across the reservoir and it gave a call as it went up the river next to the reservoir. On both the Saturday and the Sunday morning, the Kingfisher was again present on the Bourn Brook at it's usual spot on a perch. Same for the Small Heath, Kingfisher Country Park, River Cole, Kingfisher it was in the same spot both Saturday and Sunday morning. It flew up the River Cole. The River Rea Kingfisher was also in the same spot but on the Sunday was a little further down the river, which gave me the chance to watch it catch a fish, do some hovering and then fly down the river. The Hall Green, Yardley Wood, Trittiford, River Cole kingfisher on the Saturday was in Hall Green on a perch over the River Cole. On the Sunday it was just down from Trittiford, flying along the river with the sun shining on it, making it appear more green than blue. It stopped a couple times on perches over the river before it was disturbed by dogs in the river and it flew back up to Trittiford. With all these sightings I wished I had the camera to get some photo's. In the week, I had finally found my works patch kingfisher on Langdon fishing lake, EWT. I was up early so had a look and it flew across the lake at the sluice end and gave a call. We also found it sheltering from the wind, having a rest in the trees next to the path. All in all a pretty good week for kingfisher sightings.
