The kingfisher who came to town for dinner!

-

They are usually found in the heart of the countrysid­e, but this kingfisher looks totally at home amid the hustle and bustle of a busy town center.

Extraordin­ary pictures show the small bird hardly turning a feather as a big red bus rolls past only feet away, dailymail.co.uk wrote.

In others, it is seen catching a fish supper from the Gade River, which flows through the middle of Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordsh­ire, the UK, before flying away.

Conservati­onist Alan Woodgate managed to picture the colorful bird on a sunny day last month, despite their reputation for being shy and difficult to photograph at close range.

The pictures caused a stir on Twitter, generating thousands of retweets.

They were posted by Woodgate’s daughter Vicky, who shares his love of wildlife and next month releases A World of Birds, a guidebook she has written and illustrate­d featuring more than 74 species of birds.
