Very nice. If I were that Kingfisher I wouldn't be bragging about the size of that catch. LOL

Great shots. If yours are anything like the ones we have here they are very skittish, taking off as soon as you come close to getting within shooting range. What lens were you using? It's a good advert for it.

Fabulous!! I am so very jealous. I've been sitting in my blind a little for the past few days and so far my kingfishers have not landed on the perch while I'm there. I've seen them though so I know they are around. Sooner or later! Just hope I can do as great a job as you have done.
Beautiful photos!!
