Thanks so much Deb. I still have a couple more but I might delete a couple of the earlier ones I put on a couple of weeks ago as they aren’t as good…..then again maybe one can never heve too many kingfisher shots.

Absoltuely stunning – This is gorgeous. And they’re not easy to photograph either – great catch :)
Sharon Wormleaton replied
Thanks so much Robyn. They are usually pretty hard to photograph….I got so lucky with this one as it just landed on a stick in front of me and stayed there for a few clicks.

Don’t you love it when they do that :)
