What a lovely shot John, some lovely feather detail here.
A plainer background would have been nice but hey, in the wild you have to shoot what's in front of you, getting the shot is the first priority.

I'll gladly swap you 2 Puffin shots for 1 Kingfisher one any day John

Well done.
Geoff.

Lovely clean shot John, you must have been close to this or is it a crop? I was photographing one this morning I will post it later.

Lovely shot John, good detail and I like the background gives the bird some context

Fantastic image John, I think the BG contrast well with the subject on this occasion.
