The river kingfisher, also known as the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), is a stunning bird that can be found in various locations around the world. In Dorset, UK, during November, an adult male of this species was captured at rest, showcasing its vibrant plumage against a serene backdrop. Another image shows a Common kingfisher perched on a No Fishing sign in the UK, symbolizing its importance in protecting aquatic ecosystems. In Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, young male river kingfishers were photographed displaying threatening behavior and seeking shelter from rain. These snapshots capture their resilience and determination to survive adverse weather conditions. Meanwhile, Sabah in Malaysia provides habitat for the Blue-eared kingfisher (Alcedo meninting), adding to the diversity of this enchanting species. Venturing further west to Guineau Bissau's Bijagos Archipelago reveals another member of the Alcedo family - the Malachite kingfisher (Alcedo cristata). Its vivid colors make it truly stand out amidst lush surroundings. Back in Europe, Bavaria showcases a female Common kingfisher perched delicately on a frosty branch during winter. This image portrays both beauty and strength as she endures harsh temperatures while maintaining her regal composure. Traveling across continents to Indonesia's Tangkoko National Park brings us face-to-face with the Green-backed kingfisher (Actenoides monachus). The male bird elegantly sits on a vine within the forest understorey—a testament to nature's intricate tapestry. Further south lies Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park in Andalusia, southern Spain where an Eurasian Kingfisher perches gracefully on an autumnal branch. This picture encapsulates both tranquility and vibrancy against nature's changing hues.
