More than 2 weeks since fledging and this youngster is still hanging around. Great to see it down at Hackney Marshes.

Very sad to see misinformation being spread about successful habitat restoration efforts on #HackneyMarshes.
This was NOT a mitigation scheme and did not reintroduce species that were forcibly removed from this area.
Here's the real story (and a brilliant video): www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Rz...

Missed getting it on camera but just after this shot, the male dived caught a fish and took it to his partner in Middlesex Filter Beds.
So we now have 2 confirmed pairs on the River Lea.

ll kicking off down on the Marshes! 2 males fighting over a nest site. It’s really close to an established nest, so I’m not sure if it’s not wanting neighbours or about needing a new nest or? #kingfisher #kingfishers #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #hackney #hackneymarshes

Male kingfisher down on Hackney Marshes this morning sat amongst new leaves in the warm sunshine.
I think he has a partner as he was interacting with a female just before this.
