The Kingfisher
The Kingfisher, I am getting closer to taking a good photo of this beautiful bird. I take my chair and camera and just sit still where it likes to fish. One has to have lots of patience and sit very still for these birds to not take off. This is the fun part of wildlife photography for me.

Patience is a virtue sometimes – such a long beak this Kingfisher has. Great for stabbing fish for its meals!
Yes, they are such a pretty and unique looking bird.
Great pictures Sandra. Kingfisher’s are such industrious and delightful birds. There is a river where I like to take the dogs walking when visiting my parents. There’s been many a morning where I’m treated to the sights and sounds of the kingfisher hunting for breakfast.
Yes, they are quite something. Where I am at now, this one actually hovers over the water. Almost perfectly still as it looks down for a fish and then dives so quickly into the water from a great height. Amazing to see.
wonderful!
Thank you very much π
Thanks for these beautiful photos of the nature. ππ

I admire your patience! I love the last one as it leaves its post. Great action shot.
Thank you very much Denzil, yes bird photography takes a lot of patience. But I sure to enjoy it. π have a great day.
Could I interest you in a post on my blog: it’s about a study that measured the joy that birds can give us! https://denzilnature.com/2023/01/28/joy-birds/
Yes, I will read it later when I get my computer out. The links don’t seem to open on my phone as I am reading your comment here.

Nice captures!
Thank you Marland.
You’re welcome!
Any decent shot of this bird is a winner ππ
That is so true Ted, this one has been hovering a lot of the water doing his fishing, So I am trying to get a good shot of that as well. He just needs to come a little bit closer π
The area total creatures of habit, if you know his tricks you will get the shot.
Fantastic photos ! πππ
Thank you very much Francine π
Amazing
Thank you very much π
He’s beautiful. Great shots, I usually see the Great Fishers out here zooming by and full speed.
Yes they are so fast, I am going to have to up the shutter speed more next time π
What a beauty Sandra !
They are so pretty Ash, but not the bright blues you have over there. π
