| Re: Can you identify this bird?
Hi there.
Thank you so much for your reply. We have been looking on the internet for most of the afternoon trying to find out what it was.
We are not bird watchers and are only used to the usual common birds in our garden. As far as we know, it is not a captive bird and when we originally saw it sitting in the tree thought it was a woodpecker.
I hope we don't start a rush to Norfolk now!! We didn't realise it was rare and were just enjoying a stroll in the Norfolk countryside!
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Kim
PS. We've now had a look at pictures of the belted kingfisher on the internet and they all seem to have a black head, whereas the bird we saw this morning had a white head, with a band of black around it's eyes and a black stripe from it's beak to the back of it's head, joining the band. |
