IJsvogel (Alcedo Atthis) - a photo on Flickriver

IJsvogel (Alcedo Atthis)

Nothing common about the Common Kingfisher where I live, 99% of them dying during the harsh northern winters we had these last few years

I had to travel quite a bit to even get a glimpse of one. Taken in very unfavourable light as he landed for only a split second on a pole at a 'mere' 12m before flying on.

Plenty of room for improvement, but still glad to be able to add this one to the life-list (-;

NB: I made a collage of some other kingfisher shots (also in flight), check HERE
