Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), Sweden
This charming bird belongs to the only kingfisher species that breeds in Europe. They are also known as the "River Kingfishers" as they are exclusively found at fresh or brackish habitats. As their name suggests, their prey mostly consists of fish but also other aquatic insects. They nest in burrows that they excavate themselves and can reach up to 3 meters long!
Their long and pointed beak limits water disruption when they dive to catch their prey.
