I was lucky to get some info on the location of a breeding pair of European kingfishers, not far from where I live ; the eggs had already hatched and the parents where busy the whole day feeding the hungry mouths; here the female returned with a juvenile pike (please, correct the ID if I'm wrong) to the nesthole and stopped for a while on a nearby perch , set up by another photographer ,
