Mealtimes in the kingfisher nest are a bit of a bun fight. Watch one chick hold its siblings back with its tiny wing stubs so it can be first to grab the fish dad brings in.

KINGFISHER CHICKS
There are seven chicks in this nest and the adults work hard all day long to keep a constant supply of fish coming in.
MALE VS FEMALE
The male and female share roles although the female does the majority of brooding and the mail mainly hunting. Females are distinguishable from males by the fact that their lower bills are orange, like a stripe of lipstick.
CHICKS DEVELOP
Kingfisher chicks hatch out blind and featherless. Subscribe to my channel to be notified of my next film from this nest, when they grow their first feathers and begin their first flaps.

ABOUT ME
I'm a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK. I build 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. If you would like to support my work please consider a small donation here: [ Ссылка ]
Or of course you may like to purchase my artwork which you will find on my website: [ Ссылка ]. Many of the paintings are portraits of the wonderful species you watch here!
