The kingfisher tried to illegally cross the British border and was expelled to his homeland

The other day, a kingfisher flew into the carriage of a train standing at the station in the French city of Calais. He flitted carelessly between the compartments until the train started moving towards British Folkestone via the Eurotunnel. Then the bird became hysterical. Obviously, she remembered that she does not belong to migratory birds and has nothing to do in England. It's a good thing that wildlife expert Matt Ford was in the carriage, who saved the kingfisher from the status of an illegal migrant.

According to Ford, if the kingfisher had reached Folkestone, it would have been a violation of UK environmental regulations. "In this case, it would be necessary to issue medical certificates, since the bird can be a carrier of diseases," the zoologist noted.

In short, the hapless traveler was put in a special box and sent home on another train. Mr. Ford also added that the kingfisher may have a nest with offspring at home, and therefore it was very important to organize its return.
