The WWT Slimbridge Kingfishers are back on the breeding site

At least three Kingfishers were at the South Finger area this morning. The male was digging out a nest hole and two females were involved in territorial disputes. They were making various calls, posturing and chasing each other about. The male can be seen with mud on the bill.
