Birmingham Kingfisher July 2019

The good news for June, was there were another pair of Kingfisher along the River Rea.
I had seen a pair earlier in the year. Then a single Kingfisher was hanging around.
Then nothing especially with all the June rain.
Then towards the end of June, I saw a pair again.
They seem to have stayed this time.
Plenty of fish for them.
This weekend I checked out as many locations as possible.
There were Kingfisher at;
1) River Rea, Kings Norton
2) River Cole, Trittiford
3) River Rea, 2nd location
4) A surprise Kingfisher along the Bourn at Valley Parkway. There were plenty of fish and the water was clear. I just saw a Kingfisher along the Brook behind all the green on the banks.
5) I had not see a Kingfisher on the Bourn Brook for a couple months. There were a pair with a nest. I don't know if they fledged. Then they were gone. Well this weekend one was back. It made a faint call and was fishing in the valley.
6) River Tame, Spaghetti Junction
7) River Cole behind Babbs Mill lake.
