Naomi Price- Kingfisher

 For my Research Methodology project, I decided to look at Kingfishers, a small breed of bird that live by running water. They have a vibrant orange and blue colouring which makes them incredibly distinctive. Despite this, although they are not endangered in the UK, few people you ask have actually spotted one in their lifetime.
Whilst observing their behavioral patterns I became increasingly interested in the kingfisher courting process. The male will feed the female of his choice a series of dead fish head first, which I started to refer to as 'the engagement fish'. My visual experiments from this point became about dead fish as a romantic symbol.
