Had one perch on my fishing rod years ago, the fishing was that frantic.zzzzzzz.

Max.

Kingfishers do have regularly used perches Max but they are also sufficiently opportunistic and adaptable to switch around between them and to drop in on any perch that might give them a good fishing opportunity. I've experimented with perches placed in different positions and at different heights above the water and they readily take to a suitable and well placed new perch.
