Aggressive Kingfisher

Aggressive Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)

This bird was sitting on the pole as I entered the hide and got this shot as soon as I set up my camera. Very lucky really since after this spot of aggression towards another bird, it flew off and wasn't seen again that day.

A fantastic behavioural shot. The way you have cropped the image adds to the impact of the composition.
