Observation details
Observed a courtship interaction between two Pied Kingfishers near the wetland. One bird, likely a female, was perched on an electric wire while the presumed male flew around calling and making short flight displays possibly to gain her attention for mating. After a few moments, both birds flew towards the wetland, where they were joined by two more individuals. All four then flew off together.
