Hey, look, it's a local bird topic!

A few weeks ago, someone posted that they had seen Kingfishers nesting in
rocks. Kingfishers supposedly do not nest in rocks. Could that person
repost with more information: date, site location, specifics about why you
thought the birds were breeding, etc. I'm also interested in anyone else
who has good evidence of Kingfisher's nesting in rock or gravel (instead
of the usual sand bank). It's for the WA Breeding Bird Atlas and you will
be cited if evidence of breeding is convincing.
