This Belted Kingfisher was a bit miffed
at an intruding Green Heron.
Megaceryle alcyon
| Streams, lakes, bays, coasts; nests in banks. During winter and migration, may be found in almost any waterside habitat, including the edges of small streams and ponds, large rivers and lakes, marshes, estuaries, and rocky coastlines; seems to require only clear water for fishing. During breeding season, more restricted to areas with suitable dirt banks for nesting holes. |
Nicely captured Kingfisher. We don't get the Belted variety here in the UK.
