This sweet kingfisher has been lurking around in my photos for some time waiting to be included in my blog. He's smacked himself into one of our windows and rather dazed himself so we gathered him up and kept an eye on him. He was quite dazed and very placidly sat in Jeff's hands and even sat near us in some old rags and made no attempt to fly away as we went on with business. After quite some time with no apparent improvement Jeff took him off to Australia Zoo's animal hospital where he spent the night getting some professional TLC. We were thrilled when the zoo called us to say that we could pick him up and release him back into our yard. It took him awhile to fly off and for a few days he stayed near to the house but I've not seen him now for a couple of weeks. Hopefully he's out there well and happy somewhere. I so love living where we do.
