Martin pêcheur d'Europe ( Alcedo atthis )

            Le martin-pêcheur est solitaire. Dès les mois de janvier, février, le mâle offre un poisson à la femelle et la saison des amours commence... Après avoir été couvé pendant une vingtaine de jours, les œuf éclosent. Les poussins naissent nus et aveugles. C'est au bout de 10 jours que les oiseaux revêtent leurs plumes. Chaque membre de la nichée est capable d'avaler 15 poissons par jour. Pour les parents, ce n'est pas de tout repos ! 25 jours après éclosion, les petits sont capables de voler. Progressivement, ils sortiront du nid, ne seront plus nourris par leurs parents et comprendront qu'ils ne sont plus les bienvenus sur ce territoire. Ils chercheront donc un nouveau plan d'eau pour s'y installer. Un couple peut élever 2 ou 3 couvées par an.
*****************************************************************
The kingfisher is solitary. As early as January, February, the male offers a fish to the female and the mating season begins ... After being hatched for about twenty days, the eggs hatch. Chicks are born naked and blind. It is after 10 days that the birds put on their feathers. Each member of the brood is able to swallow 15 fish per day. For parents, it's not easy! 25 days after hatching, the young are able to fly. Gradually, they will come out of the nest, will no longer be fed by their parents and will understand that they are no longer welcome on this territory. They will therefore seek a new water to settle there. A couple can raise 2 or 3 broods a year.
