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.
