A beautiful female Kingfisher enjoys the morning sun on her branch. A serene sight that invites a cup of tea on the sofa with bird sounds in the background.
For many years I have been trying to capture this beautiful tropical-looking bird on film. Now there was finally the moment!
At 8 am 'in the morning, I stood in a cold bird hide waiting for "the" moment. As the beautiful morning light played on the water and reeds and the fog slowly lifted, there arrived the lady. Hunting, she skims across the water to take a moment to unwind in the sunshine. She takes her time, looks around a bit before getting back to work.
Seeing the picture makes me want to sit outside in the garden with a cup of tea and a blanket, enjoying the birdsong. Taking in the morning sun, as this Kingfisher lady chose that moment.
