I think with all the really wet weather and flooding we have been having, the water-logged paddocks are yielding up all sorts of little frogs, worms and grubs.
This fellow is a Sacred Kingfisher and usually only comes this far south in summer to breed.They usually hunt on dry land but also use the margins of wetlands - which our place definitely is at the moment.
We are hoping with the coming of the breeding season, we may see him with a partner.
And a few shots of the water pouring from the neighbours dam and into our paddocks and garden during our record breaking spring rains.

ReplyDeleteLove that beak on the Kingfisher!
ReplyDeleteHow ownderful to have this bird come 3 times into your garden and that is some, probably needed rain
ReplyDeleteHello!:) Gorgeous captures of Sacred Kingfisher, no doubt he will find what he is looking for in your garden, and I hope he provides you with more photographic material, and it would be great if he found a mate.
ReplyDeleteGot to love Kingfishers - I have a few up my sleeve from my recent Darwin trip!
