Les martin pecheurs sur Le Rhône

On the first of August when I was cycling home from work I thought I saw a kingfisher fly into the bushes on the banks of the Rhône.

I didn’t get a 100% confirmation but the shape and flight made me sure it was a kingfisher. So I thought I would keep my eyes open over the coming days to try to get some confirmation.

Then today, I left work at lunchtime as we had friends staying and as I cycled past the same bush – not one but two kingfishers flew right past me. Absolutely beautiful.

They were too fast to get a photo of – I will try to stake them out soon.

So in the meantime, here is a picture of my kingfisher in New Malden.
