what a treat

the treat is seeing this little fellow. he was scared by another bird and flew into the hide, a girl rescued him and put him outside. we were so concerned for him that no one took a shot

You do have fun in your hide. These are such pretty birds. We see many of them on the river bank in summer.great catch

Linda this looks fabulous detail and I'd LOVE to see the kingfisher up closer. Do you think it would stand a crop - so to speak?!

[linda]

@pennystot oh how lovely, they are always bigger than I expect when I see them
@quietpurplehaze thank you I will try it Hazel

@pinkpaintpot

Please do, I'd love to see it!

[Margaret Obey]

Lucky you to see one. We have them in the river here. Sometimes you catch a flash of colour but no time to react before they disappear!
