KINGFISHER
£29.00
The beautiful iridescent plumage of the kingfisher makes it one of our most colourful and instantly recognisable birds; despite this it is rarely seen due to its shy nature. The Kingfisher is a small 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 in Brodick, Torberg 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.
