Kingfishers on the Keer was commissioned by Keith Moore of Moore n'Wife, Carnforth. The local area is noted for its Kingfishers, breeding on the River Keer in summer and moving down to the coastal saltmarsh at the Leighton Moss RSPB reserve in the autumn.

The outside lid features a male and female Kingfisher. The distinguishing feature is the orange lower bill of the female, in this case the bird at the back. The group of three on the side of the box are juveniles, recognised because they have dark grey feet not the orange feet of the adult.

Opening the box reveals two stuning images, one of a bird diving into the water (even showing a reflection) and the other of it emerging with opened wings. Steve used the "inside-outside" technique he developed at Kingsley and Moorcroft Enamels, but the level of detail achieved far surpasses anything he created while working there. Just look at the individual feathering of the emerging bird! A piece like this just wouldn't have been commissioned for Moorcroft Enamels as the retail price would have risen to prohibitive levels.

The trial piece for Keer Kingfishers (see image of boxed piece above) had the Kingfisher on the inside of the box rising from the water having caught a fish. For the edition of 10 Stephen felt that the diving and emerging Kingfishers would look more balanced with bills closed.
