Kingfisher
Not the most detailed of my Kingfisher's as it was a crop, but was just glad to get her on a different perch which were all over the place and it was rather amusing when she landed on one as she found it very tricky to keep still

Magic capture Karen, nice to see a different shot and I have never seen underneath a Kingfisher before the land so fast

Congrats Karen - a really refreshing KF shot. If this is taken from a sequence I'm pretty sure you've chosen the right moment - an important skill.

Cheers,
Chris
