Hi all

A nice looking image and nice to see a different species of Kingfisher.

Hi kevin,

lovely shot of a bird I will most likely never see in real life.

A nice shot of a bird I had the pleasure of seeing on a trip back in 2001. Brings back some happy memories for me.

Ditto with Rob, some nice memories of Lake Naivasha and the many PK'fishers I saw there.. Thanks for sharing and it's a nice portrait.
