Visit to Long Valley 4th July,
Lots of kingfishers were out including this fellow!
At first I thought it was just a common kingfisher, maybe youngster.
But the more I look the more it looks like a collared kingfisher.

Thanks for any help!

You were right initially - this is a Common Kingfisher. The grey breast show that it is a juvenile.

Thanks,

It's a shame as I've never seen a collared kingfisher!
