    Kingfishers

    It looks like the River Stour Dippers have moved on due to high river water levels after the rain (no exposed rocks/rifles for them). First light River Rea and Bourn Brook Kingfishers, one is a juvenile and I can hear it's call slowly maturing. Then it was an adult female then replaced by an...

    2 pairs of Kingfisher have had young fledge. A juvenile up the Bourn Brook. And a possible 2 upstream along the Rea. I think a pair on the Tame, another on the River Cole.

    Kingfishers

    3 pairs of Kingfisher along the River Rea. Juvenile Kingfisher from one nest. (There was a 4th nest but I think too close to the next nest & territorial dispute so it failed/Kingfishers gone).
