Who needs a hide.
Our very friendly kingfisher in east London.
Back in the summer when feeding his young he would return to this perch every few minutes.

Having seen the female in the Olympic Park, I then walked upstream and this male announced his arrival up by the football pavilion at Hackney Marshes.

Looking at the photos from the trip to the Waterworks Nature reserve at the weekend, this female was also there, as well as a male.

With the Lea running quite high and fast I thought it was worth checking out the Waterworks nature reserve - it was worth the visit with cracking views of this male #kingfisher.

Not today, as it is raining in London, but a few days ago, saw this kingfisher a little further down that the River Lea towards the Olympic Park.

The great escape
This male kingfisher was chased by a sparrowhawk. He flew off the river and towards the football pitches at Hackney Marshes. After a nervous wait, he returned to a favourite perch!
