Kingfisher




This week I got closer to a Kingfisher than I ever dreamt possible. As I was on my morning walk I discovered it sitting quite happily on the river bank just above a cauld searching in the shallows for it's staple diet of small fish. I must have been no further than 20 feet away from the bird which was completely unfazed by several passers by including a jogger who passed within 6 feet.

I'm amazed at the beauty of these birds. They seem to be so skittish that they are seldom in a distance for a decent photo. These are beautiful images!
