Male Kingfisher with mud on his beak

Not exactly pin sharp but as I was hand holding the 500mm with a 1.4x on I was really pleased with the result. Strange how nature chooses not to sit where you can swivel the camera on a tripod. Anyway will forgive him as he has mud on his beak so he is looking at nesting.

Great capture. Hopefully chicks in the nest soon

Glorious colours. I think you did excellently here considering you were handholding all that lens and camera!

So handsome.
