User's notes

I was stunned to see an azure kingfisher fly past and catch food on the water a couple of times. I was then shocked (and excited) to see not one, but two sleek azure kingfishers zip smoothly up the hill behind me. I'm wondering if this indicates they are breeding? Many tree hollows and termite mounds available around here
