Thanks ruley74.@Callie He's a colourful little devil
I feel really fortunate to be in an area in England that has some great locations for seeing Kingfishers on a regular basis.
Their mortality rate here in England is something like 70% so when I see one when I’m out I feel totally privileged because they are an absolutely beautiful bird & the blue is even more mesmerising when you see one up close.

This is the Kingfisher you will find in Europe. The 3 pics below where taken in The Netherlands, at different places. It took a lot of effort and patience to get pics like this

I think something is wrong about the name « pied »because pied mean « foot » in English but in fact it’s magpie as it’s color is black and white

Sorry this Is completely wrong. The correct term is pied - having two or more contrasting colours. Also ‘pied‘ is French obviously and not really relevant to what pied means in English.

Re-edit considering what I have learnt since I took the photo in March 2020. This was the first Forest Kingfisher I managed to photograph and only a couple of weeks after I acquired my D500 & 200-500 combo.

Here in Alberta, Canada we have the Belted variety (Others have posted it before, but thought I'd add/share my attempts at photos anyway because it's fun!). These are very armature compared to most of the previous posts. Thanks for sharing them all by the way!
Definitely have been finding it challenging to get near them here. A hide of some sort would be best if you want great shots I think. This is probably the most shy bird species I've personally encountered so far.
