Tension Inside Kingfisher Nest

Kingfishers are solitary birds and pairs need to overcome a natural aversion to one another in order to breed.

The female (identifiable by her orange lower bill) enters with a fish for the chicks. Watch the male recoil as she enters - the pair have a frosty relationship! FILMING A SECRETIVE SPECIES This year, I’ve been filming a kingfisher pair inside the nest. With a custom built nest chamber and state of the art cameras, I’ve been able to film the secret world of the kingfisher like never before. Read more about how I first built the nest here: I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK. I build ideal habitats to encourage wildlife into my garden and use nest cams to study their behaviour. These studies inform my paintings. I share the best of my video research on this channel for free.

Many of the paintings are portraits of the creatures you watch here! © Robert E Fuller Copyright Disclaimer: Please feel free to share my videos but do not download any content without permission with the intent to re-upload.
