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.
