About the artwork

A kingfisher is a species of bird belonging to the family Alcedinidae, known for its distinctive and colourful plumage. Kingfishers are found in different parts of the world and there are more than 90 different species of kingfishers, each with its unique characteristics and distribution.

These birds are generally known for their fishing behaviour, as they often hunt fish by diving into the water from a perch and catching their prey with their sharp beaks. However, not all species of kingfishers feed exclusively on fish; some may eat insects, crustaceans and other small prey.

Kingfishers are known for their striking and vibrant colours, including shades of blue, green, orange and red. They have short legs, long beaks and a compact body design that is well suited to their hunting and fishing habits. Their excellent vision helps them spot prey in the water, and they are agile fliers.

One of the most famous kingfishers is the common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), also known as the Eurasian kingfisher, which is native to Europe, Asia and North Africa. Because of its stunning appearance, it is often depicted in art and literature. Each species of kingfisher has its own unique range and adaptations, making them a diverse and fascinating group of birds for birdwatchers and nature lovers.
