This is great MArcus. I can imagine it was not easy - these birds's flypath and dive-like method of flying must have made it quite difficult. Great work my friend.

Marcus,
Interesting about the male and female colouring. These guys are pretty common up at our cottage. But, they are very shy. They don't let you get too close to them. Sometimes I swear they have a deal with the Herons :) The Kingfishers see me paddling along and fly up ahead and let the herons know I'm on my way.

Ooooh you know how to make a fella jealous Marcus. I've been on the look out for Kingfishers all summer. Saw 2 travelling at about 100mph. Perhaps this guy was doing that sort of speed but that doesn't phase you does it. You get a remarkable result as per usual. My highest compliments to you once again.
