The Dive

I have 3 of these playing around in my front garden every day. A bit hard as I am mostly shooting into the direction of the sun at the best of times.

Nice catch, Elsa. Do you know the type of bird? Doesn't appear to be something we see around here.

Elsa,

The kingfisher image was very interesting for about 12 minutes, then it started getting even better. It is actually enthralling, I checked my dictionary.

Thank you guys for such great comments and compliments!

The pied kingfisher is a water kingfisher and is found widely distributed across Africa and Asia. Its black and white plumage, crest and the habit of hovering over clear lakes and rivers before diving for fish makes it distinctive. (wiki)

WOW! Kingfishers in your front garden, I want one.
Stunning images with a sense of motion rarely captured.
