Your right Gill - I'm working on it!!

Hi Gill, I'm afraid there are currently no books in print on Kingfishers. So far as I'm aware only 4 have been published in the UK in the last 40 years or so:-
1. 'The Kingfisher' by Rosemary (and Ron) Eastman - first published in 1969.
2. 'The Kingfisher' by David Boag - first published in 1982.
3. 'Kingfisher' by Paolo Fioratti - published in 1992.
4. 'Kingfishers' by Charlie Hamilton-James - published in 1997.
I was lucky enough to find copies of all 4 on the internet (eventually!) and if do a 'google' you may be able to find one or more of them.
As to territory size, the main determinants are the quantity of fish and availablity of suitable nest sites but it's generally considered that a typical river territory would be between 1 and 5 kilometres.
I hope thay helps.
Regards, Jeff

Thanks Gill. I've been so busy this past week or so it's been impossible to get on WAB but I just had to log in tonight to look at the "ghostly goings on video". It made me laugh and I needed that.

Shocking! We must put that right immediately! :D

Hi Gill, I think I may have found a good campsite for the Norfolk meet. Have a look at the thread and let me know what you think.

Yes it would be bad if you got arrested doing your job..There is a springer rescue centre on the web if you do search..They are really good sniffer dogs she can smell doggy treats a mile off..
Good luck with finding the right one when you get one..If you want to train it yourself I would go with a puppy as mine is impossible to train myself yet my other dog from a pup was really easy.. Both of them I taught to woof on command that's quite funny..

I had one before Lollie, Sally she she was great she went blind at 4yrs and deaf at 8yrs I still miss her, that's why I got lollie she is a rescue dog they kept her in a cage for all of her puppy life while they went out to work all day.
As a result she cannot be let off the lead as she don't come to call..But apart from that she is a lovely dog. She wants cuddling all the time..

Yes Gill meet Lollie the nutter..

Happy new year Gill..
