Our first brood of kingfishers has fledged from the bank opposite the kingfisher hide. We watched the fledglings sitting in the entrance to their nest hole, and five were counted out. There may still be one to emerge. There is still plenty of activity visible from the hide. Last year the kingfishers in this nest bank had three broods, so there should continue to be activity here through the summer, fingers crossed! Kingfishers are also nesting in the bank from the Gadwall Hide.

Very lucky to see the fledging, only missed the first 2, we reckoned 6 came out in total. Lots of great views - even coming onto the nearer perches. The adult male was investigating other holes for the next brood.
