More of the Sacred Kingfisher

This is the last picture of our visiting Sacred Kingfisher in the bird bath. He hasn't been around for a few weeks now. But it's interesting to note that groups of kingfishers have been spotted recently at Lake Claremont. I wonder if the kingfishers are gathering, ready to fly north?

Sacred kingfisher visits our garden

 

Sacred Kingfishers are no longer as common in Perth as they once were. In the 1980s I used to see them at Lake Gwelup. More recently I've heard them calling from the Karrinyup Lakes Golf Course. This week a juvenile Sacred Kingfisher visited our garden, ate a few insects, and perched for some time in the Grevillea until being chased away by a Red Wattlebird.
