A common kingfisher sits on a branch of a tree in a meditative mood at a swamp in Fontenay-le-Vicomte, Essonne, France. The photo was taken recently. The common kingfisher is widely distributed over Europe, Asia, and North Africa, mainly south of 60°N. It is a common breeding species over much of its vast Eurasian range, but in North Africa it is mainly a winter visitor, although it is a scarce breeding resident in coastal Morocco and Tunisia.
