Really nice closeup of this guy. The two toned background really makes this guy stand out. Well done.

A cool looking Kingfisher, Sandy. Really nice pose and perch and the light looks gorgeous.

Nice light on this 'King of Kingfishers' as Sir David Attenborough calls this bird. Nice one, Sandy! Cheers, Hans
