Kingfisher
All winter we had a male kingfisher as a regular sighting, particularly on the ponds around our visitor centre. This spring he has found a mate and they can regularly be seen from several of the hides on the reserve, as well as the visitor centre ponds and Lady Fen. Our team of media volunteers have managed to capture them in a few of their regular spots, but so far the kingfishers have not let us get footage of them both together. In one of our clips the male can even be seen regurgitating a pellet of fish bones from his perch on the main lagoon.
