The kingfisher is the only species of the kingfisher family found in Central Europe. It inhabits large parts of Europe, Asia and western North Africa and lives in moderately fast-flowing or stagnant, clear waters with small fish populations and perching areas. (Source: Wikipedia)

The kingfishers are no longer seen there, but there are new nesting boxes on the pond near the entrance. They appear there from time to time. They are best seen in the morning, right when the park opens.

Although not common in Schleswig-Holstein, the kingfisher can still be found. The breeding population is estimated at 200 to 600 pairs, primarily in the water-rich eastern hills and on the Geest. Kingfishers are piscivores and prefer to nest on steep banks or in the root plates of fallen trees.

Explanation:

Distribution:

In Schleswig-Holstein, kingfishers are primarily found in regions with numerous bodies of water, such as the eastern hills and the Geest.

Habitat:

They prefer steep banks of lakes, rivers, and ponds, but also ditches, gravel pits, and tree root plates near suitable bodies of water.

Diet:

Kingfishers are piscivores and feed mainly on small freshwater fish such as minnows.

Breeding:

They typically breed from March to June and lay 5-7 eggs.

Special Features:

The kingfisher is a protected species, and its population is heavily dependent on the health of the water bodies. Kingfishers are also vulnerable to cold winters, which can affect their populations
