Apparently, kingfishers eat dragonfly larvae too 😄

Juvenile Eurasian blackcap taking a bath. Seems a bit late in the year? I think most of them have already migrated away.

I just found out how to distinguish between male and female kingfishers (male have totally black beaks, female have orange/red on the mandible), and it looks like a year ago we actually had two individuals in our backyard 🥰

First photo is a female, second is a male. You can also see differences in their feathering. Possibly siblings?

This year’s individual is female.

The kingfisher finally stuck around long enough for me to take a single photo 🥰

The kingfisher is back, just like last year 🥰 Haven't been able to photograph it yet, but it'll be back 🤞🏻

Placed some extra bowls of water around the garden for the birds, looks like they appreciate it 🥵

One of our ponds keeps being visited by a crow, and we couldn't see what it was doing.

Turns out, it found a source of discarded bread somewhere in the neighbourhood and it's using the pond water to soak the bread so it's easier to eat 🥰

Looks like the hawfinches have established themselves in our garden 🥰

I also counted many (dozens) Andrena 💪🏻

turns out it didn’t visit the neighbours, it’s eating our salamanders! 🫣

The #kingfisher grabbed a fish from one of the neighbours’ ponds (as we don't have any fish in ours) and came to our backyard to eat it 🥰 (thanks to BirdNET-Go and #HomeAssistant for alerting me to its presence)
