A beautiful young kingfisher on a lovely branch at the water's edge. Sitting in a hide about 2.5 metres away, I took this photo of a juvenile male. Undisturbed, he arrived and sat on the branch watching for possible fish in the water. The beautiful blue colours in the feathers on his back are fully shown off by the beautiful morning light. The moss on the branch also adds something to the whole composition. Photographing these beautiful, small and colourful birds is enjoyment with a capital G. Their behaviour among themselves, the diving to catch a fish and the approaching or flying away are a joy to behold. A beautiful picture that will get all the attention on every wall and that you will enjoy every day.
This picture was taken with a Nikon Z8 camera with Nikkor 70-200 F2.8 FL lens and Nikkor 1.4 extender.
