    Oh I just love these Kingfisher you have your way. Gorgeous they are and the colours along with the markings are fantastic.

    Nice shot but too dark, I brightened it up a bit.

    Kingfishers are magnificent birds; so colorful. I wish we had them in my neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing.

    Over here they are becoming less scarce now because of milder winters during the last years but they used to be pretty rare here as well. Thanks for the reply.
