Description

Touraine, France, A common kingfisher is caught in a net, in order to be identifyed. Particularity: plunge up to one meter of depth to capture its preys. The small ?blue arrow?, ?flying diamond?, has just plunged of its stake overhanging water. Of a fast flight, shaving the surface of the pond, it gained another observation post. The kingfisher is one of our the most coloured birds: iridescent top, russet-red blue orange lower part, white chin and throat. Its speed and its mistrust put it at the shelter the predatory ones and our glances. Capturing small fish but also watery, and mollusks, insects, its nozzle is a true scraping-knife which enables him to stab the prey more slipping, before cutting her up on a branch, or swallowing it the head the first. Its eggs, white and brilliances, are deposited at the bottom of a long level gallery dug in the bank. Observation: all the year. Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
