Recently I was lucky enough to shoot this little blue gem 💎 again. It’s always such a magical moment 🥰.

With bright orange breast feathers and a turquoise head visible from the angle, the kingfisher strikes a magnificent pose as it sits on a wizened curved thin branch, the background is completely blurred. The birds head is canted down to the rhs as it looks out for fish below. This bird is a male, it's beak is completely black.

I can't mention kingfishers in the previous post without actually posting one after! Here's the image my profile picture comes from. A male scrutinising the river for fish. #Nikon #AffinityPhoto #EurasianKingfisher
