Thanks, Deb. I’d like to get a better look at one sometime. I don’t know if they’re unusual around here or if I just don’t know how to find them yet.

Beautiful post, love the photos and the birds. Kingfishers are one of my favorites. I usually see a few every year, but not this one. My timing must have been off, for they are not uncommon around here.

Good luck finding your kingfishers. Here’s hoping they’re easier to track down in the UK.

Thanks, Mikael. I’m finally starting to learn to make a few ID’s by ear, which is especially nice because I can filter the ones I know from the ones I need to spend a little more time searching for.

Wonderful photos, I love the reflected autumnal colours. I’m looking for kingfishers too, different species though././..

Nice post and pictures! Belted Kingfisher is a great bird to learn by sound. Their call is so distinctive and you can hear it from quite far away.
