    from

    The landward end to the north of the causeway often has a Kingfisher on the outlet of the Santry River. The outlet of another small river, the Naniken, just south of the causeway is also a congregation point for duck and waders.

    The area within the ellipse.

    The river further up the pic I'm pretty sure it is on private property, but the lower one is just inside St Anne's Park, on the left after you go through the gate.

    If you're lucky enough to get photos, pls post them here.

    still no luck. im back in college know so dont have as much time to spend there. i was down today for a good while and didnt see any sign of the kingfisher. usually i would see it around the river further up the picture but noticed i dont see it as often any more. just wondering would it be making a nest this time of year and thats why its not around as often or if theres any other reason for it not being about.
