It is unusual, but not unheard of. Of our kingfishers, the Little and
Azure are true kingfishers, and in a family separate to the others,
which are more terrestrial.

Actually, that's quite unusual, isn't it? I'm just trying to think if
I've ever seen a Sacred Kingfisher fishing - they tend to be more
woodland birds....
