Small Bird Skimming Over Water -Seaforth Liverpool today (Note: Poor Quality photos) (1 Viewer)

Hi all

Yep, sorry for the poor photos but had to grab my camera quickly to fire off a few shots before he disappeared - think I did well doing just that

Was sitting enjoying the peace and quiet when this lone small (smaller than a Starling - possibly Robin sized?) dark-coloured bird whizzed by at great speed like an arrow/fighter jet (in a straight line keeping the same height as he went along) from one side of the lake to the other and then was gone!

So any help appreciated - but it was definitely not a lone Swallow, Swift or Martin.

cheers

With those colours it can only be Kingfisher.

Oh, thanks - that sounds interesting :t:

Undeniably and unmistakably a Kingfisher! Perfect description of its typical flight too.

Good to know Steve :t:

thanks for your help guys.
