This picture shows a kingfisher. Although this little bird is not rare in the Netherlands, it is still difficult to spot. Kingfishers are very shy. They live mainly near streams and rivers with fresh water. Kingfishers mainly eat small fish. They like to sit on branches hanging low above the water. From there, they can easily hunt for small fish.
The kingfisher in this picture did just that. It perched on a low-hanging branch on the Gouwzee. From there he observed the water and when a fish came into his sight, he dived into the water. Because a kingfisher observes the water for a while, it was possible to take this picture.
As the photo has a fresh and calm look, it can be hung in different types of interiors.
