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

Belted Kingfisher: NOM NOM NOM. #birds #kingfishers

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.
