River Cole - Ackers / Shire Country park 12.15
After the kingfisher pair on the Rea, I was informed of a kingfisher pair on the River Cole. In a completely new location to me. How great!! (A big thanks to Ali). So I took a look. This pair were far more difficult to observe, however, due to passers by, hidden bends, the lack of cover to observe from and the kingfisher being really good at stealth flying. Flying overhead rather than along the river. This was more like the secret kingfisher I am used to. Also interesting is there could be 3 pairs along the Cole in Birmingham, maybe 4. Great!!
