Beautiful birds. The females are very pretty too, in their own understated way. I went for a walk in the rain on Wednesday and spotted a few males in the distance; it was too far away to tell if there were any females with them. I also had a good close-up view of a kingfisher.

So sorry to hear that @Thevictorian just keep her on water for a while until it settles down, make sure that she has water. Were they playing in the park? She could have caught it there.
