Kingfisher (male) This is the second time i have spotted the same Kingfisher in the same spot! The first time, the light was really poor and as he was on the other side of a fairly wide river, i didn't get any decent captures. Also got to watch him fish for a while. Such beautiful birds and it is shame that here in the UK, they are under threat from Minks that raid their nests for their eggs and or chicks :( Alcedo atthis,Blue-breasted Kingfisher,Common Kingfisher,Geotagged,Halcyon malimbica,Spring,United Kingdom Click/tap to enlarge
