Great shot Rob,

Given the birds angle, the head-to-tail sharpness is excellent, along with the overall detail/composition

nice picture, and nice background. Kingfisher are like a drug, as soon that you have started photographing them you just can`t let go.....I know I have got the same bug......

Love the composition and head turn, but it all looks a bit green from here.
