EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a juvenile Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) displays an impressive hunting technique as she strikes a Shore Crab (Carcinus maenas) on a branch in Suffolk, England, during the autumn month of September. The Common Kingfisher, a striking and colorful bird native to Europe, Asia, and the Atlantic coasts of North America and the eastern Atlantic, is known for its agility and precision when it comes to catching prey. This immature female, with her vibrant blue-green back and orange underparts, has expertly positioned herself on a branch overhanging the water's edge, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to strike. With a swift and powerful blow, she hits the unsuspecting Shore Crab, a common crustacean found along the rocky shores of the British Isles, with remarkable accuracy. The Common Kingfisher is a popular bird in Europe and Asia, and its presence is a welcome sight for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike. This image, captured in the temperate waters of the English coast, showcases the bird's impressive hunting skills and the diversity of the marine life found in the region. The juvenile's determination and focus as she feeds herself are a testament to the resilience and adaptability of wildlife in their natural habitats. This photograph, taken by Paul Sawer for FLPA Images, captures the essence of the Common Kingfisher's hunting prowess and the beauty of the natural world. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the habitats of these remarkable birds and the diverse ecosystems they inhabit.
