The kingfisher is perhaps the most photographed bird in the Netherlands. In any case, it is the most sought-after bird to photograph. It is therefore a beautiful bird with all its variegated colours. The ice blue, turquoise, light blue and azure colour contrast beautifully with the rust-brown breast feathers. The white collar and white throat make the bird's striking appearance and its bright red pooches complete it.
This bird is not only beautiful but also very shy. So tricky to photograph, but with the necessary portion of patience it manages. Here, the male sits quietly on his branch, enjoying the spring sunshine. Did you know that the kingfisher can fly as much as 80 km per hour.
