Azure kingfisher in Hawker

[pardalote <>]

Hi All

I've received a report from a friend of an Azure Kingfisher in Hawker.  He says: "We have an azure kingfisher smashing it's face into our windows. I kid you not!" and "It hit the window 4 times, then sat under the patio for ages, then flew around and away, some magpies started chasing it."  Doubting his claim very much, believing it to be a sacred, Discussion with Julian Teh has led me to believe it to be an Azure kingfisher.  The evidence is this: "It was azure blue and very fast...  We had them occasionally in Brisbane and, yes I looked exactly like the
picture, but it was a bit scraggly. It ate one of our goldfish too."  This meant nothing to me, but Julian claims that Sacreds are not fishing species, yet Azures are fishing species.

Matt.
