Kingfishers are cool, but I see them fairly often so less exciting for me. What is interesting is how they change colour so much in different light. The blue is caused by light refracting, the pigment in their wings is actually brown-ish grey so they can go from looking such vivid bright blue one day to dull brown the next.
And yeah, they fly pretty cool too. Makes them quite easy to distinguish once you recognise their flight. Nothing else quite like them.

Not bad. But I done saw a bloody kingfisher yesterday.
So blue. Unreally blue. And it moved about more like something off a scifi film than a bird. Such zip. Many zero-inertia.
