My first sacred kingfisher of the season seen (and heard) at the

see an azure, haven't seen one for about two years...
My wife saw and photographed what must surely be an azure sitting on my
clothesline in Altona a few months ago. It disappeared before I got home,
but must have moved to the roof. When I went out I just saw a bright blue
(or purple?) flash as it swooped to the ground then up over the fence.
Is that unusual? My house backs onto vacant land that backs onto the
wetlands. These birds live in burrows in the river banks don't they, so it
would have a long way to come to get to my house. Not sure what it was
doing there, but we do get little frogs in the back yard.
