Hi Marco,
When you a great shot like this one, are you using a tripod? Hand held with a burst mode?
I always seem to get some blurring on my action bird shots.

Great action pose, beautiful color. I like the background and the perch, too.

Marco,
Beautiful kingfisher shot. Are these guys as hard to get close to as the belted kingfishers? If so, you did a great job sneaking up on this guy. Love the upturned wings and the colors. A+. Dave

Incredible shot of a subject that I have been trying to capture for a few years now. Was this taken in a blind?

Marco,
I'd sit in a blind all day to get the chance to photograph a Kingfisher like this. Very nice pose, setting colors and details.

I thanks everyone for the comments.
@Larry: I used a bean bag and a burst mode
