..and with some others inhabitants of river banks to size comparison..

Congratulations, I'd never guess that Papo would be the first releasing it among major brands. There is the AAA version but this one has a much more traditional design.
Good to see how it looks together with other river friends.
I think this topic can be moved to walk arounds section.

Yay! Congrats!

Found mine yesterday too.

It is a beautieful kingfisher :)

thank you Rogério for the link to AAA kingfisher!.. you're right, its colours are a little strange..
Danke schön Shardur und Andreas! :)

These AAA birds are often painted in a strange way, maybe it represents a different species of kingfisher. An azure kingfisher or something like that. If anyone find a better match, I can certainly move it to the correct species page.

Very clearly it represents Alcedo atthis or common kingfisher. The colours are not much inaccurate, just painted in a bit simplistic way. Both Ceyx azureus and any other kingfisher species would have different distribution of colours, especially on the head.

It was very kind from you to check it. I am glad it was originally correctly identifyied and now I've seen it was Susanne who did it. :)

three weeks ago, riding on my bicycle, I saw one, over Rhôny stream, from a little stone bridge, awesome spectacle! :)

This bird has a beautiful colors. I will buy one.

you're right Fernando!.. :)

I need this beautiful bird, too.

I've seen a real kingfisher flying over the river Saale, which is near by my home.

Nice little bird, a king without a doubt. I only saw one in my life but i can't forget it

I bought this model, the Kitan and Kaiyodo ones. I need some light, some free time and I will make a comparison topic.
