True to our philosophy that you learn throughout your life, we always look out for new challenges. Sometimes
life's surprises are most unexpected. Not least
to find a kingfisher nesting at the bottom of your garden. Especially if you live within 2km of
of the centre one of the UK's major industrial cities. During May
bankholiday 2002 it was there. We watched them build their nest and now its feeding its young. The challenge is to get some good photos.
Visit our Kingfisherforum, ask questions, make comments on Kingfishers, describe you experiences at
the
Xirin Kingfisher Forum
Most people count themselves lucky to see the iridescent blue flash of this rare (in the UK) and shy

it take.
