Description


Earlier this year, we got the opportunity to attend a very interesting ornithologic experience ; we visited the nature reserve « Schlammwiss in Uebersyren (Grand Duchy of Luxembourg) (Fondation Hëllef fur d’Natur) where scientists were ringing birds. This gave us the unique opportunity to approach and see the birds very close… The Common Kingfisher, Alcedo atthis, also known as Eurasian Kingfisher or River Kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter. Le Martin-pêcheur d'Europe (Alcedo atthis) est une espèce d'oiseaux, espèce type de la famille des Alcedinidae. Cet oiseau est un bon indicateur naturel de la qualité d'un milieu aquatique.

He is a little bird, with head and beak as big as his body. This is one of the prettiest birds of the world, in my opinion. It's a beautiful, clear shot.
