Kingfisher Magic

A king fisher swooped down into the silent waters at the noon a flash of amber and blue bobbed up sloshing- whoo a silver fish dangling from its beak like an ornate pendant, from that creek

Enjoyed (in the long ago, I had a favourite place where a kingfisher regularly fished, and its splash would regularly incite a beavertail splash).

There are places, these birds frequent where they know they are sure to get a catch ! Thank you so much, Rico !

An exquisite and humorous poem Valsa, magic in the candid world, a kingfisher's beads uncovered at the mid-day hour.

A Kingfisher always come up with a fish dangling from its beak. They are experts at catching fish and I have often wondered at their magic. Thanks a lot dear friend Lasaad
