Alcedo atthis
Small and short tailed bird, often seen in this position, perched in ambush - looks like a bright blue flying jewel. It provide a spectacular sight when flying down and catching prey.
Seen in protected marshes (Mategnin les Fontaines), one of the few remaining ones in Geneva suburbs. These wetlands are situated exactly on the border between Switzerland and France.
