I've visited the same nature reserve about six times this year and on the first four visits (spring and early summer) I spotted a kingfisher diving from the very same branch. I only needed to wait at most 20 mins for him to show up. Am aware they do this and will stick to the same hunting spot.
The last two visits (late summer) he was gone. I waited a good 30 mins on both occasions. Could the explanation be that while nesting, the bird will be hunting from one location near a nest, and once the young have gone the bird is liable to relocate?
Or should I go back to the same spot and keep waicthing, with the assumption that they stick to the same hunting spot whether or not they have young to feed in a nest nearby?
