Lovely juvenile Kingfisher!
Would have liked a bit more head turn your way but otherwise a very crisp shot!

Greetings,

Perfect for me. In fact one of the best kingfisher images I've seen for colour and detail. Excellent.

Excellent shot Lea. The variation in colours is interesting. This bird looks very green to me. I believe it has been mentioned on here before and I'd love to see some of these.

Well worth all the hard work and effort that I know you have put in. Good field craft skills that will be rewarded with many more great images.
