Photo by Kort Duce A female belted kingfisher perches above St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the bird is poised on a branch that cuts diagonally across the frame from the lower right toward the center left. Positioned just left of center, the kingfisher faces the camera with its beak slightly open and its head turned to the right. The background reveals a mix of riparian trees and patches of blue sky peeking through the canopy, adding depth and a natural sense of place.

A territorial kingfisher chases a rival along St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the viewer looks upward into a blue sky streaked with soft, translucent white clouds. Just left of center, a kingfisher is captured mid-flight, wings fully splayed as it speeds to the right. The image’s simplicity and balance create a striking, graphic composition that is both clean and visually compelling. Photo by kort Duce

One of Britain's most stunning little birds, this Kingfisher painting was great fun to paint. This is one of the Kingfishers that lives at our local Welsh Wildlife Centre here in North Pembrokeshire, where there's a very healthy population.
