Observation details
1st and only time I have seen a half-collared kingfisher on this trail. I think the big reason why this bird was here is because the river on the trail was flowing lightly after rain yesterday and the water was quite clear. Spotted this kingfisher on my way back and was on his own in foraging mode. Was monitoring him for about 20 minutes.
