Kingfisher in the Suburbs

This afternoon we were lucky. We saw a Kingfisher dive into the back yard as if it were a pool and start to pluck small lizards ( of which we have an abundance) from between the bricks and off rocks. Beautiful. Over the last 6 years we have turned our yard from a one tree barren suburban blandness into a 30 tree shelter. It's a very small yard so things are dense. There is still plenty of sun. So we get nice warm footpaths, which are made of brick. The lizards have thrived and now a new comer to the scene. Brilliant. This is possible in your backyard too !
