A Kingfisher
out of the blue, amongst the torretial rain, this young bird decided the perch was an ideal stopping place in a dry spell.

Hi Paul


excellent shot pose and background :toast: :toast:

I would get rid of the orphaned stick and the background looks very noisy, as already mentioned the birds a bit over sharpened.

All easily sorted though :smile:
