Kingfisher by the Tay

[perth62]

Is it possible that a Kingfisher would be found as far north as the river Tay?

[kawwauser]

perth62 they certainly are on the tay,hard to find though,the eden centre just south of dundee is a good spot to see them

Yes, Kingfishers are known to nest on the Tay

PPS. kawwauser - just noticed that although the above is your first post, you've actually been a member for just over 3 years so congratulations on that!

Yes Kingfishers are on the Tay. Kingfishers have been expanding their range northwards for a number of years and I believe they are now found as far north as Aberdeen and Inverness. We have a resident one at our local mill

They definitely can be seen in Inverness, though I've not seen them myself yet.

Thanks for all the replies.After checking many images I am 99% certain that the bird I saw was a Kingfisher.I'm hoping for future sightings.Any information on how best to go about this would be appreciated.

I imagine it was a Kingfisher as they are like no other bird in the U.K.
