Kingfisher

December 2018 and someone gave me a tip that they had seen a Kingfisher at the stream not far from where I was so not being one to miss an opportunity, I went to see if I could find it.
After what seemed like ages, my phone rang so I placed my camera on the ground to answer it. As I looked around, the Kingfisher had landed in the reeds right beside me. The phone disappeared in the long grass as I made a grab for my camera and luckily, the Kingfisher sat there just long enough for a couple of shots. I then had the job f finding my phone again which you will be happy to know did return to me.
Fabulous shot and story, such beautiful birds.

Lovely capture! Lots of people put pics up of kingfishers on local sites, but no one ever divulges where they were & I have never seen one round here!

@carole_sandford I don't think you're local to me but this one was on Mill Meadows next to Priory Park in Bedford. UK
I hear there are lots showing around the park lakes too but they are not easy to capture on a pearch
