Over the past few years i have been keeping an eye on 2 pairs of Kingfishers on my local river. Back in 2014 i did get a few shots but a combination of no time
because of 2 babies of our own and the Rivers Agency here in Northern Ireland clearing large sections of the river bank of all trees and bushes means that there
has been no shots of them since. I had still been keeping an eye on the last year and with stuff starting to grow back along the banks i took the opportunity back in the autumn of putting a couple of
perches up where i thought it would suit them and me. The male in particular seems to like one of them and i have been getting a few shots over the last couple of weeks.
They are feeding young at the minute, when they have fledged i want to change a couple of things as so much vegetation has grown up that i can't see him hitting the water or flying back and forth now.
A few shots, will add more later
