Hi there, I am kingfisher mad, something about them, guess it's the flight, colour and catching fish. I read the other posts and note there's some sightings in Essex. My sightings this week was one on the Mardyke, North Stifford, Wednesday and Thursday evening last week, got some really bad long distance photo's. A couple weeks before spotted one on the Ingrebourne River, Gaynes Parkway, Upminster which I've seen a few times over the months and one on the River Crouch, Wickford, which was a new one. Before that found one at Langdon Lake but think it's now gone in search of a mate. Looking forward to any other sightings in Essex. Happy Birding. B
