This pic was shot from around 20 feet away. If we move even two feets closer, they would fly away.
With 200mm lens this is the best I could capture. And this pic has been cropped :/
That's the reason for the crappy image quality.
Oh, we also spotted Pied Kingfisher the same day, couldn't capture it though
