Julian,
As I'm sure you know, the paper to which you refer is available in English (probably not same exact version as this was published in...2011? But I'm hoping close.) https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1260/0263-0923.30.1.1
The paper talks about tunnel exits. With the kingfisher, the author was interested in tunnel entries. He is noted in endnote #9.
Putting aside whether or not you buy the validity of the results of the analysis/efforts, the man believes he engaged in biomimicry in developing the design.
