Field Notes

Description:

The red on the underside of the bill identifies this bird as a female.

Habitat:

Coastal lagoon.

Notes:

A group of us were chatting in the hide and I said "Wouldn't it be nice if a Kingfisher came and sat on one of these posts". She obliged a few moments later and I was the lucky one with the camera ready, she was gone after a couple of seconds.
