Kingfishers in High Park

[David the park stroller]

Just an amazing morning watching two kingfishers work the duck ponds near the "castle" playground. [Thanks to the English guy for drawing our attention to them.] If you want to get 10 feet from a GBH that's your place. One is now "tame" and sits on the wall and rocks just feet from passersby. Also, 3 or 4 Great Egrets are working the wall at the Humber / Gzowski park breakwall along with Blue Herons, and Night Herons every evening.

Hello,  I am new to birdwatching and just wonder where in high park is this "castle" playground? ( is that the advanture playground near parkside drive?) if I come from bloor street entrance, is it towards south near restaurant? Thanks



My husband also love taking photos for bird as well. Will post some photos in the photography section later on.

Welcome to the forum.  Castle Playground / Adventure Playground... same thing.  Centre Rd. which is east of the restaurant entrance will take you down there.

Hello joe, Thank you so much, I will drop by today in the evening  


add on:
We (me and my husband) went to the park at around 5:30pm, the GBH is there and showing off himelf (I believe it's immature "him" because of the feather project from the head. It's a position that open half of it's wing but tuck in to the back and enjoying the sun.  We also meet another photographer as well and he tell us a bit about where to go bird watching. Want to say a big THANK YOU ^_^

We were walking down south to the lower duck pond and meanwhile we sopt something fly back and landed in the bushes, so we went back up again and spotted a NCBH.  Then about 7:15pm we head down to Gzowski Park and spotted 2 more GBH and 3 more Egrets.

We were having lots of fun ^_^
