Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)

Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)


The Kingfisher is a small and easily recognised bright blue and orange bird with large head, stubby tail, short legs and a long pointed bill, which fly low over slow moving or still water, often perching on overhanging branches. A resident on Arran, but there is no confirmed breeding, with reported sightings on Fisherman's Walk, Roddin bridge Torberg, Brodick and Cordon. They dive to feed on fish and aquatic insects and usually nest in holes dug in riverbanks or ditches with a small chamber at the end of a tunnel.
