Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)

  • kim
Yesterday the sun shone, and I had a great day with Tom, Peter W and Marise. To make it perfect - a Kingfisher appeared - whilst the sun was shining, which was amazing - not the sun - the bird I mean - cos the men were yapping non stop!!Luckily their dulcet tones did not frighten the bird away!!
Hope you like it too Ken!!

Absolutely gorgeous. Spectacular colours and perfectly captured. Superb composition. I'm (nearly) speechless.
 
Kim, this hot is superb, you must be chuffed to bits with it. That blue sky background is the icing on the cake. A cracker of a shot

Just caught up with this beauty, on Tom's advice. What a ripper of a capture, Kim. Thanks for sharing & glad to hear you had a top time. :king:
