#036 Ben the Kingfisher


"Ben has a sideways smile that has always sent the girls a-flutter, and is exactly the kind of flirt that has them pecking at each other in his trail. You’ll have to try quite hard to find out anything about him that he doesn’t want you to know, and so tightly held are certain cards that it leads some to wonder about whether he only whispers all his thoughts to the fish. His staunchly competitive character hides just below the surface of his immaculately presented plumage; so whatever you do don’t challenge him to a fishing competition because you might just get more than you bargained for." (Kerry Lord, Edward's Menagerie Birds, 2015)
