A Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) arrived in the mail with early birthday wishes. This Eurasian species, rather smaller than our own Belted Kingfisher, was nicely illustrated by Christine Berrie. I’ve never seen one, but who knows, I may one day.

Beautiful bird! I think I saw one go zooming by when I was in Norfolk a few years ago. It was a very brief appearance. “BVD”: better view desired!

I’ve seen kingfishers fishing in my woods, in the lake below the cabin. Entertaining for sure.
