Canon animals

After each section of the ABC town, I need a change for a few days.

It can't be too complicated and it helps if it's different from buildings. I went through my downloads and found two kits that looked interesting. It wasn't until I had made them that I decided to put them together - an encounter that's only possible in paper ;-)))

Cheers
Mike

Now it makes me wonder if a kingfisher has ever grabbed a small mammal, or maybe a small reptile.

Nice display, though.

Technically, a Kookaburra is a kingfisher and they're well known for grabbing snakes. And sausages from BBQs.

Many birds take advantage of opportunities. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that has happened some time

Those Canon models look so good, don't they? I made the same mouse some time ago, and hid it in a kitchen cupboard for my other half to discover. It went down a lot better than you might imagine.

Kingfishers are generally tiny.

They will take other prey - small lizards, the odd insect etc. But the prey needs to be swallowable in one piece.

Woodland Kingfishers here are quite large and I have often seen them take small lizards.

A mouse is way too big and uneatable! Let's just Mikes model is a meeting of friends rather than protagonists!

Kevin,

They are just good friends! The kingfisher is half the size of the Canon kit. So neither are full scale.

Cheers
Mike
