A beautiful kingfisher on a lovely branch at the water's edge.
Sitting in a hide about 2.5 metres away, I took this photo of this beautiful female kingfisher. Undisturbed, she sat on the branch for some time watching for possible fish in the water. The beautiful blue colours in the feathers on her back and the orange of his breast feathers are fully shown off by the beautiful morning light. The moss on the branch and the dark background add something to the whole composition and atmosphere in this photo.
This beautiful female kingfisher successfully dived for the fish under the branch. During my visit, there was a near "mating" with a beautiful male.
Photographing these beautiful, small and colourful little birds, is enjoyment with a capital G. Their behaviour among themselves, diving to catch a fish and approaching or flying away are a joy to see. This beautiful picture will attract attention on every wall.
This picture was taken with a Nikon Z8 camera with Nikkor 70-200 F2.8 FL lens and Nikkor 1.4 extender.
