For Clare Balding, the kingfisher has had a special place in her heart since childhood.

As a child, Clare Balding's grandmother would say that if you saw a kingfisher you need to mark that moment and remember it.  Throughout her life Clare has been impressed by these athletes of the river and whenever she sees one Clare thinks that that place is blessed.
