RSPB Spotlight Kingfishers

Description:

Usually observed as a flash of blue and orange from a riverbank, most people are aware of Kingfishers, but few of us are familiar with the intricacies of their day-to-day lives.

With their long, dagger-like bills, bright blue plumage and characteristic fast, low flight over water, Common Kingfishers are instantly recognisable. The 90 or so species that belong to this colourful family have a cosmopolitan distribution and, in
Spotlight Kingfishers, David Chandler celebrates their remarkable existence, studying their unique adaptations and their courtship, breeding and feeding habits.

He also investigates historical threats to Kingfishers, considers their future, and offers practical advice on how to find and see these glorious birds.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best bird book I think I've read.

I. · 25 August 2024

This book is incredible, the facts it contains and knowledge inside is everything I wanted to know about this beautiful blue streak of a bird.From how they spend the winter to inside the nesting chamber, absolutely fantastic. I'm definitely going to purchase other spotlight booms because of this one!

It is a brilliant book as are just about all the ones of that series. Kingfishers are one of my favourite animals in the UK, and the photos in particular are tremendous.

Good book, nice images. Might have been nice to give locations where you could go and see a kingfisher. Apart from that a good book about the kingfisher.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book.

This is a wonderful book. The photography is superb, with classic shots and incredible in the nest pictures. The writing style is clear and informative. I found my first Kingfisher using the knowledge I gained from this book - see my pics. What a good buy!

I discovered this beautiful bird as a painting on the cover of one of the books by one of my favorite artists, UK watercolorist, Jean Haines. Sadly, the common kingfisher is not found in the US, so I searched and found this book. This book is very informative. It is packed with vibrant, beautiful photos of this lovely turquoise/teal and orange bird! I love it!
