Autumn vibes
As the leaves change colour, the kingfisher starts to almost blend in with them.

@londonkingfishers.bsky.socialLook at that lipstick
The whole of her lower bill is orange, indicating not only is she is a female, but is quite a mature bird.
She was quite comfortable with me standing just a few metres away.

Always aware of what is going on around it.

@londonkingfishers.bsky.socialThe princess of the park
The view of this female kingfisher in Victoria Park might have been obscured a little by leaves and branches, but she was still just a few metres away. What a wonderful feeling it is to get this close.
@londonkingfishers.bsky.socialHiding - you don't always get a clear view of the kingfisher
It is the first time I have seen this female on what last autumn was a very regular kingfisher perch in Victoria Park.

@londonkingfishers.bsky.socialDouble trouble
After getting this close up sighting in Victoria Park this morning of this female, off she went - quickly followed, rather to my surprise, by another kingfisher.

@londonkingfishers.bsky.socialIn the gloom
An adult male kingfisher on the Lea - is this the one who appears to have lost his territory to a juvenile?
@londonkingfishers.bsky.socialGood morning Mrs Kingfisher
Finding a kingfisher was the second surprise of this morning in Victoria Park after finding a brood of 9 new Egyptian geese goslings
She was on the west lake in the park.

@moviesontheway.bsky.socialJoseph Merrick was so much more than a spectacle. Born in 1862, he faced unimaginable cruelty, yet was thoughtful, creative, and deeply gentle. A story immortalised in The Elephant Man movie. He didn't want curiosity; he wanted acceptance. 🧵 #eastlondon #history

@londonkingfishers.bsky.socialCompetition!
Clearly both these birds want this stretch of river for themselves.
Kingfishers are territorial and will not share - until this is resolved they will keep coming into conflict.
