Grey Herons are in breeding season just now and some individuals can develop a reddish flush on their bill, with the skin under the eye also turning a blue/purple colour. This one was busy hunting in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow.

Another clip from the River Kelvin in Glasgow. This was an epic struggle between Kingfisher and what i think is an eel elver. Lasted several minutes, we think he won but he flew off to the other side of the river to finish the job. Starts full speed and then goes slow-mo, no sound.

An Otter going about its business (swimming, diving, eating fish) on the River Clyde, east of Glasgow Green. If you watch to the end you'll get some other bonus fishing-beasts from the Clyde.

Spruce-up for Kingfisher on the River Kelvin in Glasgow. I shot about 10 minutes of this in 4k and cut it way down for file-size limits to post.

I’m sure I read somewhere that all photos taken in the park have to have a Heron in - it’s like a law or something. Last week in Bushy Park, London.

Last Sunday I walked from Tottenham Hale to Hackney Wick via Walthamstow Wetlands and the River Lea. I saw two Kingfishers, including this one at Coppermill stream. All good but nowhere near the amazing nine! Kingfishers
