Last spring I photograph kingfisher....I wanted a special branch and this branch come from Wales!!You get in Wales mosses that we do not get in Bucks! To often kingfisher are photograph on poor prop and I think that the branch is as important as the bird.....
This is a male ofering a fish to the female...
This was photograph with the 500mm and the canon 1d2n
Have a great day and bonne fetes de fin d`annee.

How dare you steal some our Welsh wood!

Seriously, great interaction, and the perch is particularly nice!

Good KF images do take a bit of work, and this is well worth the effort.

All the best for the next year.

Lovely image. Perch adds real interest. Very envious as i have been trying to get a kingfisher for 2 years now without success.
