Photo shoot with a kingfisher: The forester Michael Rampp from the Bruck Agricultural Office succeeded in taking this snapshot in Untermühlhausen near Penzing.
Fürstenfeldbruck - The kingfisher sat on the roof rail of the official company vehicle and waited patiently until the forester had pulled out his smartphone and took several pictures.
A special feature, because the fast and shy kingfishers are rare and difficult to observe.
Their habitat is bodies of water in which there are small fish, tadpoles and aquatic insects.
They plunge into the water on the hunt and submerge to catch the prey.
They raise their brood in caves on steep banks.
In Untermühlhausen, where the picture was taken, such structures worthy of protection still exist.
