Twitch Reading Comprehension Worksheet

Reading extract
Milo moved slowly along the narrow path, careful not to disturb the dew-covered ferns. He had visited Fern Hollow many Saturday mornings, hoping to spot the kingfisher that a wildlife guide called a flash of blue beside the stream. The sky was pale, and a thin veil of mist floated between the trees.
A sharp call rang out. Milo stopped and lifted his binoculars. On a branch above the water sat a small bird with bright blue feathers and an orange chest. Sunlight caught its wings, making them shine like polished glass.
Milo let out a quiet breath. He had begun to wonder whether the kingfisher would ever appear. His friends sometimes called him “Twitch” because he could hardly contain his excitement whenever he saw a new bird. Now, watching the kingfisher sit calmly by the stream, he forgot all about their teasing.
The bird dipped towards the water, then darted away between the trees. Milo lowered his binoculars, smiling. He could not wait to share the sighting with his neighbour, who had lent him the wildlife guide.
