Beautiful. What type of kingfisher and where in the world did you shoot this?
Nice Shot Jijir
These guys (kingfishers) are one of my favorite birds. Nice capture.
Beautiful capture!
Koos, the Europeans called their Kingfisher Kingfisher, that is this blue one. They did not know there were other KF's I think, when this species thing started with Carl Linnaeus in the 1700's . This is what Wiki says :
The common kingfisher, also known as the Eurasian kingfisher and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.
Always a pleasure to see them!

Thanks, Callie. Pity they don’t have the variety you see in Africa. But then the variety in North America is also limited to one in Canada and three in the USA and Mexico, including the Canadian one which occurs in all three countries.
Jac?
Thanks ` Have a look here, this is a post with plenty of 'fishers on this site.

Thought it'd be a good idea to see how many of the Kingfisher varieties we can collectively gather. Like a lot of people I find them amazing! Please ensure you provide the correct name with the photo for collection Running totals... We're up to... 30 species We have photographed... Azure...
