After years of trying, I finally got a Kingfisher entering the water to catch a fish. Not ideal. I would've preferred the belted side as this is a female but I was very happy with it.

Phenomenal, Robert! I haven't even been able to get close enough to a perched kingfisher to get a decent image, let alone just breaking the water. Well done!

thank you. Like many of us, connections to locations are our gateway to opportunities. I was lucky to learn of a non-skittish (for lack of a better word) kingfisher making its home at a local lake. Then it was just a matter of patience and waiting until she dove down.

Congrats. Very nice shot. I managed the beak entering the water shot with a gull this past summer; not the same thing tho -- way up on the bucket list is the Kingfisher in this 'pose' :)
