kingfisher on bullrush - a photo on Flickriver

            Kingfishers are a group of small to medium-sized, brightly colored birds. All have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. Most species have bright plumage with few differences between the sexes.They consume a wide range of prey, as well as fish, usually caught by swooping down from a perch. While kingfishers are usually thought to live near rivers and eat fish, most species live away from water and eat small invertebrates. Like other members of their order, they nest in cavities, usually tunnels dug into the natural or artificial banks in the ground. In Britain, the word "kingfisher" normally refers to the common kingfisher.
