Kingfisher catches a fish on a 'no fishing' zone


This cheeky kingfisher showed a blatant disregard for the rules when it was caught on camera reading a ‘no fishing’ sign with a fish in its beak.

This funny moment was captured by photographer Mr. Dean Mason, 46, from Bournemouth, Dorset, who said: 'I spend most of my time down by the River Stour in Wimborne as for about five or six years I’ve been coming down here but this is the first time I’ve seen a kingfisher land on a sign with a fish in its mouth - it was really funny'.


It's a mocking-bird! This cheeky kingfisher lands on a sign with a
 fish in its beak - but hasn't noticed yet that he is not supposed to be
 fishing
It's a mocking-bird! This cheeky kingfisher lands on a sign with a fish in its beak - but hasn't noticed she is not supposed to be fishing.

Rule breaker: The colourful bird appears to glance down at the 
sign and appears to be slowly taking in the words 'No Fishing'
Whoops! The colorful bird appears to glance down at the sign and appears to be slowly taking in the words 'No Fishing.'

The bold kingfisher clearly wasn¿t worried about flouting the 
rules and was left unflappable at the sight of the instructions
Disregard: But the bold kingfisher clearly wasn't worried about flouting the rules seems to have been left unflappable at the sight of the instructions.

The bird now seems to be knocking the fish against the wooden sign
 on the banks of the River Stour in Wimborne in Dorset
Rebel: The bird now seems to be knocking the fish against the wooden sign on the banks of the River Stour in Wimborne in Dorset - clearly she thinks fishing should be allowed.
