To those of you who have been lucky to spot a Kingfisher perched by or hovering over a small river, have you ever wondered if the Kingfisher was a male or a female?
The way you can tell if from the colour of the underside of their beaks. The female Kingfisher has a red underside whereas a male has a black underside. As the colours are so contrasted, it is very easy to spot if it is a male or female.
So next time you come across a Kingfisher, have a look at the underside of the beak!
