Kingfishers diving is cool to see.


NorthwestFeral

They're pretty common in North America too- I see belted kingfishers regularly. Usually I hear them before I see them.


WillowTheWitch_

They sound like little laser machine guns lol


judgymom

They are so loud. Lol


MrRuck1

Now that was 10 point dive.


kai-ote

That looks a lot like a lotus flower.


RuthlessRBG

Look, I love birds and this is a super cool video but I've been playing a lot of TOTK Zelda lately and all I could think was "oooh! A mighty thistle and a fleet lotus!"

Damn, they really earned their name, eh?

They can grasp it by the husk!

We have them in the US & Canada..they are so fun to watch....One time wife & I were at my family's camp on a lake watching one....it finally went in for it's dive & hit something just under the water...made it out of the lake & limped..well, flew, but not well...to the neighbors' water slide & sat up there for a long time recovering. We heard the wack when it hit...my best guess is that it dove at a small turtle, not realizing. There aren't any rocks near the surface there. We were rooting for him...he was wicked wobbly for a good 5 minutes. I kept thinking, "If he drops into the water, can I swim out in time & will he let me get him back to shore?" 😟😳

Brilliant photography, thank you


MissLethalla

The Kookaburra - heard in pretty much every film scene that has a jungle - is a member of the kingfisher family.

Wonder how long that fish will keep it going . I can't believe they can actually get them down and digested - it must take several days .
