EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a fishy feast! This Common Kingfisher from the Midlands, England knows how to make a splash in the dining department. With its vibrant plumage and sharp beak, this adult bird proudly displays its latest catch – a loach – as it perches on a branch. It seems like November is the perfect time for this avian angler to indulge in some fresh water delicacies. Hailing all the way from Asia, this Eurasian beauty has found itself right at home in British wetlands. The kingfisher's keen hunting skills are on full display here, as it effortlessly snatches up its prey with precision and finesse. Who needs takeout when you can have your very own river-side seafood buffet? As autumn sets in and temperatures drop, our feathery friend takes advantage of the abundance of food available before winter arrives. Its appetite for these aquatic creatures is insatiable, making it an important predator within these ecosystems. This stunning photograph captured by Mike Lane showcases not only the natural beauty of this magnificent bird but also highlights the delicate balance between predator and prey in our rivers and streams. So next time you're out exploring nature's wonders, keep an eye out for these colorful kings of fishing!
