The kingfisher female (identified by her red beak on the underside) is offered a fish by the male. During the mating season, the female is offered a fish by the male. It is part of the courtship. The courtship was also accompanied by a lot of shouting at each other. If the fish is still alive, the bird first beats the fish against the branch. The photo was taken on April 12, 2022 in the Netherlands.
