Are they likely to be on their first clutch yet, and if so, would sightings drop as both are warming the eggs? Even though we're not watching our pair as intensely as over the previous months, I'm usually able to see several glimpses as they skit over the river, but in last couple of weeks have seen nowt but a glimpse of a second or two.
My biggest fear is that the local teenagers think it's fun to dump furniture in the river, and that the Kingfishers are suffering from their behaviour. |
From what little I know, now is about the time they will be preparing the nest and mating. Whether this terrible cold weather will delay that this year, who knows.
