Recently, British photographer and lifelong kingfisher enthusiast Charlie Hamilton James captured a set of photos which recorded the daily life of a kingfisher family inside their nest, according to British newspaper Daily Mail.

It was surprising that the kingfisher parents shared their childcare duties, just as human beings. They even fed their kids in turn.

Here's a look at those moving moments:
