    One of my new favourites shots. We were getting late and didn't want to get a parking ticket! So I only took some really quick shots - and this photo is completely un-edited other than denoise!

    One of those moments ... ... that yields a satisfying full frame ... the sun ... is lighting up from below and not above... ... the bird sits so close to you ... with good eye engagement ... and smiles ... approvingly ... __________________________ Keoladeo National Park India 12...

    Mas d'Agòn is a rather popular place among birdwatchers. This female kingfisher got used to all those weird people pointing their lenses at her, she ignores us completely.

    It does not have to be a close-up all the time. A kf is back. I got plenty close-ups of the "last" kf. No idea if this is the same bird.

    Me old legs needed a rest today. I took lunch with me and ... I heard a kf while I had my sandwiches. 🎶😁 I went to the pond, hid myself behind a tree and reed, when two kfs flew over my head. Two kfs are here again ... This is one of them.
