I ran into a pair of making a racket the other evening when I wasn't prepared to photograph them. I think maybe it was some vocal parenting, but it seems like it would be a second clutch for the year? I know I saw babies almost ready to leave the nest months ago.

A kingfisher snatches a fish from the water in Yeadon, near Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK. The little birds are only 15cm long, but when diving they can travel at 25mph

The kingfisher is widespread in the UK but is absent from northern Scotland. It is active all year round near rivers, canals and wetlands.

    I was just packing up my camera in Hyde Park when this pair of kookaburras showed up. I love kookaburras!

    No chortling happened, but just seeing them after 6+ years is very cool.

    Warning: I may have to post more kookaburra photos in the coming days...

    The partner of the first bird, this one has a bit more blue on the wing. It perches on a different branch, and looks just as awesome as its mate

    I was looking straight down on this in the snow, looking straight down at the creek for fish.

    Love this new mural from Frodrik on a wall near Speirs Wharf on the Forth and Clyde Canal in the North of Glasgow.
