Hello to everyone out there. I'm not intending to make fellow WAB members envious, but for the last couple of week's I have had a Kingfisher in the garden and on my pond. I didn't see him yesterday ( Sunday), but was there again today (Monday). I have hundred's of small goldfish, so he must think its Tesco's.. Amazing to watch. Makes you wonder why they bob up and down! |

Aren't they incredibly beautiful birds? I had a stroll around the RSPB site at Minsmere today and had the pleasure of seeing one at fairly close quarters. Certainly got a v. good view through the binoculars of it hanging onto a reed stem. As an angler I often see them when fishing and it always gives me a thrill. |

and here's me thinking I'm the only one lucky enough to have Kingfishers in the garden 
But a word of warning JR - when you say you have "...hundreds of small goldfish.." - I hope your pond is fairly large and deep in parts as these birds can clear large numbers of pondfish - our visiting birds all but cleared one of my ponds of more than 140 golden minnows over the Christmas/New Year period last year 
Also, watching them can become quite an obsession!!- you might find my 'Kingfisher Diary (with photos)' thread of interest.
Welcome to WAB by the way 
Jeff

Hi JR, kingfishers are on my wish list to see and photograph, you are so fortunate to have them in the garden - but I doubt your fish are quite as happy  . Anyway, now you have made us all jealous, welcome to WAB and see you around . | | | |
