      ​@@RobertEFuller I don't see that there is documentation of the artificial Mud Bank you built. THAT would be even as interesting as the beautiful King Fisher laying all those eggs and hatching and feeding them. Did you know that the Australian Kookaburra is a King Fisher. Bland in appearance, I guess, to fit in with the brown Australian countryside.

Sadly we had a rather long dry spell this summer and the pond dried up so I haven't seen it in a while. We have had quite a lot of rain in the past few weeks so I hope it will come back or at least come back next year.

    Very big eggs for such a small bird. Gorgeous Kingfishers. Sadly our rivers are getting more and more polluted due to sewage and water companies releasing overspill straight into our rivers and waterways. The rivers and streams were doing so well up recently.Private companies care more about profits than the environment.Here in Scotland the government own the water works.
