The kingfisher is an unmistakable bird which inhabits riverbanks. Its beautiful blues, sharp eyes and swift flight are identifying features. It poises on water’s edges, ready to dive and create that sparkling splash on the surface on the water as they fish for food. On the Barwon River, in inland NSW, I had the pleasure of watching a kingfisher grooming its feathers in the morning sunlight after procuring a breakfast catch.
