Good afternoon,
How are you?
I'm very excited to tell you that the kingfishers at the Kingfisher hide have hatched! The adults were spotted taking fish into the bank!
It's a good time to see the kingfishers as the adults will be in and out of the bank every few minutes taking the hungry babies food!
I know everyone want to see kingfishers, so it can get quite busy in the hide... So please be nice and budge up if you are in the kide for a while and let someone else have a look!
