I was trying to take a photo of a heron, then I heard this little female kingfisher chattering above me. They're fast little birds, I've tried to get a photo of one for the last couple of years without much success.

You are luckier than I am with those Belted Kingfishers. I wish we had some of the species they have in other parts of the world. They are way easier to get close to and capture images of.
Congrats and well done. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wow! How on earth did you manage to keep it in your viewfinder / sight long enough to get three shots??? Super in download. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Outstanding!
I've also struggled to get a half-way decent photo of a kingfisher but haven't come close.
Great work, thanks for sharing.
