Common Kingfisher
The Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) is a small and brilliantly colored bird known for its iridescent blue and green plumage and sharp, dagger-like beak. Often seen perched near freshwater habitats, it dives with remarkable precision to catch fish, its primary prey. Its vivid colors, combined with a characteristic rapid flight, low over water, make the Common Kingfisher a delightful sight for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike. Found across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, this bird is a testament to the beauty and diversity of avian life.
