Full Description
The kingfisher had not been sighted along the creek for about 20 years. One day a bird flew into a classroom window at CERES. Teachers and students rushed out only to discover a stunned but safe Sacred Kingfisher. The sighting was greeted with much excitement. It proved to CERES and the wider community that their environmental efforts were indeed bearing fruit. A celebration was called for and the Return of the Sacred Kingfisher Festival was born.
