Took these photos a couple of weeks ago and promptly forgot about them. But at the time as we were searching for these beauties I was pretty damn excited when we finally stumbled across them. We had been searching and searching and had found a couple high on overhead wires and not only were they too far away for a decent photo, but birds on wires do not make for the most romantic of photos. And I was after romance, damnit! ๐Ÿ˜‚\n\nAs we were heading back towards the car I did a quick search to see exactly what the call of the Sacred Kingfisher sounds like. I mean, I've only seen them a handful of times in the wild so had no idea what I should be listening for. And no sooner had the call started to play, which to me sounds like one of those fluffy, battery operated pink toy dogs that filled the markets of my childhood, whirling around in circles, their mouths moving stiffly as they let out high pitched little barks, then Matt realised that there was a Kingfisher VERY close by! \n\nWe wandered up and down the path a few times, necks stretched back, ears straining as we tried to pinpoint exactly where the bird was. And then just like that, one bird flew above us and then another! So these birds pair up only for the breeding season which is probably not the kind of romance I was hoping for but still, just seeing these two together made my day. \n\nSacred Kingfisher\nCamden",
