I noticed a bird fly towards the trunk of a willow but hover from it then fly to a branch of a dead tree. I took a photograph before I realised it was a kingfisher. The bird was mainly looking out over the lake to southeast. It would occasionally turn to look towards where the cormorants were but it did not seem overly concerned. It would regularly twist its head as you can see in the photographs. The bird was not worried when a kayaker paddled nearby. The bird finally flew off to the southeast, although I could not see where to or whether it was going after food.
