Nice photo....I have Kingfishers very hard to photograph. Fast and take flight quickly when encountered.
Thank you. They are quite a task. (I learned that some people "cheat" by baiting them into a small area to try to get water entry photos. I won't do that.) I shot these photos with a guide who knows wildlife behavior quite well and he was very willing to teach me to recognize some behaviors that knowing can help get more shots. Still, there were very few good ones from that day. They are quite skittish, and I took these shots with a minimum lens of 500mm. And the posted photo is cropped heavily.

J'adorerais en ajouter. Un oiseau, bien que pas très glamour, pour une excellente pratique du bif, car il peut être abondant dans de nombreux endroits et parcs des villes du pays. [ATTACH = full] 1209 [/ ATTACH]

That Macaw, it is a really green image! I loved it from when you first posted it way-back when on your website. One of my personal favourite wing position on birds! Love the action, have spent hours shooting herons, trying to get that split second action!
