Lovely shot Dale! Strong perch and sweet light!
But a good year for Kingfishers... :confused: :confused: ...Over here we went from 1200 pairs two years ago to 150 pairs now..two harsh winters have allmost wiped them out down here (The Netherlands).

Hope they will get bak to their former numbers..

greetings,
