Dear forum community,
During the pandemic, I had the opportunity to observe a pair of kingfishers rearing their brood.
I was delighted when I saw “him”, a 1.3oz guy, for the first time one day
This bird has certainly not flown out of the brood tube for more than 1 day. The colors of the chickens are not yet as saturated as those of the adults. Even a little of the filigree baby fluff can still be seen on part of the feathers. You can see more details by clicking on the flickr link on the bottom of the image.
Unfortunately, the steep brood slope slipped away later in the year during flooding and has not been used since because it became to flat for a brood tube.
I only have this picture to remember it by.
Critique and comments welcome
