Pied Kingfisher ♂ / Ceryle rudis / 斑魚狗 (雄鳥) [Explore]

            (Back after a personal break, thank you for your patience.)

Where’s my fish???

Failing to catch a fish after several dives, a male Pied Kingfisher flies past me at high speed wearing a mischievous grin, perhaps indicating he expects better luck next time.

In fact, this particular male Pied Kingfisher had grown accustomed to seeing me standing at the river’s edge over the past winter, making possible some rather (fast) close encounters of the avian kind.

Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in Hong Kong 香港. (Best viewed on a larger screen.)
