Re: Kingfisher
Hi Bernard,
The little bird is a Male Kingfisher, the difference between the male and female can be seen in the beak, the female has some red on the bottom of her beak.

Re: Kingfisher
Beautiful shot Benjy...I am the same with Ziggy -- wish I have more colourful birdies in my backyard too...and I like #1 between the two of them because the second one has a bit of shine at the back that you did not processed well. The first one is a belter (to borrow your term...geez I like that term...
)

Re: Kingfisher
Very nice work on a bird that I've read makes things difficult for photographers!

Re: Kingfisher
Very nice Bernard, not an easy subject to capture - I normally only see a flash of blue going past at a great rate of knots !

Re: Kingfisher
Beautiful bird with lovely colors Bernard
I especially like #1 as the exposure and the posture are better.
