Successfully fledged

 Following on from previous posts, it was good to finally see that the Kingfisher pair have had three young male birds, which all showed well from the Peter Scott hide at WWT Llanelli yesterday. A single male had been seen a day or two before, and all this ties in with that sighting I had last Thursday of the female ready to feed, but away from the nest site.

The new juveniles have their characteristic dull chest, dark feet and white tips to their bills, bobbing on their perches for a long time. 

Initially one turned up, then joined by another 5 mins later, and eventually a third. Great to see, and really relieved that they`ve fledged successfully.

These juveniles will develop their skills over the next few weeks, often seen then `chasing each other`, and will eventually find new areas to explore and fish independently, ready for the autumn and winter ahead.
