So you are not the only one 'Nest' building then Jeroen I think they need to re write the dictionary definition of Kingfisher. Kingfisher - see Jeroen Stel LOL. Love the colours, BG & expression

BTW skip ISO 640, up it to 800. It is much better all round.

Love the head pose great detail, I so want to photography these stunning birds jeroen, cannot find them .Lovely shot

Beatifully sharp, with nice colours and background.

Hello Jeroen.

Very nice. The composition and colours in this make for a very pleasing image to view.

Hi Jeroen,
Great pose and head position, lighting is very nice, there are many around us, its just trying to fit in the time to get to grips with them.
