Afternoon everyone,
I am sad to have to let you know that our young kingfishers have been predated.
Over night we think a fox has dug out some of the bank. The male has been seen around quite a bit today.
It's very sad, but it is part of nature.

Hi Ritchie,
The markings that are left look like a fox.
I agree - fingers crossed for the lapwings.
The male kingfisher has been seen since so fingers crossed there is still time to have another brood.
Thanks,
Louise
Real shame, was it definitely a fox or do we have a possible Mink? Hope the Lapwings fair better fingers crossed.
