Air Supremacy (Alcedo atthis)

An early morning display by a couple of these birds was a real treat. I only wish their hovering antics were a lot closer. Hopefully for another day :)

Top shot of Kingfisher. Nice background. Beatiful light. When you can see eyes of bird on the photo, you have succeeded. Well done.
