A few more Kingfisher pics from today. On the way home I spotted another Kingfisher fly from the sea up and over the cliff top onto the West cliff esplande. I checked out the boating pool and the garden wildlife pond just in case 🤣 📷☁️💙💚👍 #Ramsgate #autumn #wildlife

An amazing Kingfisher walk with Kat and a few passersby who got to witness a territorial battle between two female Kingfishers this afternoon in #Ramsgate harbour. We spent over two hours watching these birds size each other up and then clash. 📷🌥💙💙💚👍 #VisitRamsgate #ActiveRamsgate #autumn #wildlife
