| Saw one diving near us in the sea from the rocks at Mare Monte earlier in the year. Did not think they fished in the sea until I saw it. |

| Took a picture of one sitting on the rocks by the sea watching the small fry earlier this month could not believe it was really a King Fisher. Till we got back to the UK and checked it out. |

| We had one at Rita on the Rocks (now Silver Rocks) used to fly from one side of the small bay to the other drove my 2 dogs mad. Whether or not it was the same one but came every year for about 5/6 years, very beautiful bird. |
