A Sacred Kingfisher - right out of the gate!
This beautiful bird greeted us as we joined with expert birdwatcher Graeme Folley at Ben Bennet Park, Caloundra on 20 October.
This event was part of the Aussie Bird Count conducted across Australia by Birdlife Australia, to develop an understanding of our local birds. Over 4 million birds were observed and counted Australia-wide during this event.
Our sighting of the Kingfisher was invigorating - it's striking blue feathers, flying above us as a symbol of freedom, vision, and purpose - it seemed like a perfect fit and reminded us what Voices of Fisher is all about - protecting our community, standing for independent voices, and looking forward with clear direction.
