Kingfisher

[nanila]

It's not the finest photo I've ever taken of a small bird - I didn't have the telephoto with me - but we were chuffed to have spotted a kingfisher perched above the lake on an early morning walk around Charlecote Park (Warwickshire, UK).

Oh, wow, you guys get the bright, colorful ones.

Nice. The pond ice sets him off well.

The kingfisher is one of the most colourful UK birds. There is a multitude of Little Brown Bird species as well!

They're not easy to get any sort of picture of but they are amazing little jewels!

It flew closer and just as I got the shot lined up...gone!

What a nice splash of color. Great shot!

Thank you!

How delightful!

[nanila]

Yes! There was also a white egret. :)

I can’t see a little egret without singing “Egrets, I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention” to myself!

Such pretty birds.

[nanila]

Agreed. Tiny jewels.

What a fabulous spot of colour in an otherwise rather pale landscape!

Yes, its little red tummy stood out beautifully. 😄
