This Kingfisher at Yakumo caught an odd-looking fish.
It took it a couple of minutes to swallow it………….
It was a dark, wet humid day. The wader passage has started at least: 1 Mongolian Plover, 1 Kentish Plover, 6 Grey-tailed Tattler, 2 Terek Sandpiper and 2 Red-necked Stint. The first Black-headed Gulls are passing through too.
Hi Stuart – So could you ID this fish?! Hope the Kingfisher started to devour from the tail end…Good luck with the migrant birds this Autumn
Hi Tony, I have no idea about the fish species. Long-nosed Greater Minnow? Unicorn Stickleback? The migrant waders have started passing through, too hot outside to chase them up and down the beach though.
a pipefish of some sort ?
God knows, fish ID is not mt expertise sadly…………
Its look so natural, The bird must be careful to take the fish. That moment is not easy to take. It’s an amazing picture.
Thanks!
