It's true - I have lived in Birmingham for the last 30 years and have never seen so many kingfishers! I remember the first time I spotted one in our local park along the river bank - I just couldn't believe it 😍
I live in New Zealand and will now be more alert to Kingfisher sounds! I'm on the edge of a tidal estuary so we are fortunate to be blessed with many. And I never knew Kookaburras were Kingfishers! Thanks for everything you share, it's brilliant.
No Kookaburras in New Zealand- our birds in NZ are much more understated and demure (except for perhaps the Tui)! I grew up in Australia so their sound is part of the soundscape of my childhood.

‘More canals than Venice’ as my good Brum friend Tamsin likes to remind me. Maybe more kingfishers than Venice too? 🤔
Definitely 😁

That's wonderful Jane - I don't know my New Zealand kingfishers at all! Do you have kookaburras in New Zealand too?

Their sound is part of my childhood too, though mainly from Hollywood movies!
Ha! Skippy and Blinky Bill rep-pre-sent 🙅♀️🙌
