Birmingham Bourn Brook Kingfisher

Bourn Brook Kingfisher again, I got another photo;

Birmingham River Rea Kingfisher

There is a Kingfisher, fishing back along the River Rea, along the same secton as in late 2014 / early 2015.
Not seen one, fishing along this section since then.
It might have flown through but not stopped.
I guess there are fish along this section.

Birmingham Kingfisher late December 2019

A couple or maybe three(?) Kingfisher along the Bourn Brook at the Eastern Road bridge, along the back of the Uni halls and up by the blue bridge past the reservoir.
The Kingfisher along the River Rea from Canon Hill park to Ten Acres.

Birmingham Kingfisher December 2019

I think all the rain is affecting the Kingfishers.
They are getting difficult to find.
The River Rea Kingfisher at Ten Acres was back on Sunday.
I was there at the right time and it flew in and landed next to me.
It was interesting as it tried three spots for fish. First it checked the side of the Rea, very close to the bank. Then it flew to a branch over the Rea and then it tried another branch. The way it checked very similar spots made me think it was the same Kingfisher as from the Summer.
The Bourn Brook Kingfisher was again back by the roundabout on Sunday.
The tree branch was swaying in the wind but the Kingfisher kept it's eye on the brook and dived for a fish.
I have seen it down the back of the University halls as well.
Also good to get a report from Julie on Birdforum of a Kingfisher along the River Cole and then on the Trittiford Mill pond.
