Great shot of a beautiful bird. I've never seen a Kingfisher in real life, but the version we have around here is nowhere near that colorful.

What a clear sharp well composed image..... perfect!!!

Scraig, i wonder why you did not see this swift one around so far.... is it that you just missed them or is it for geographical reasons???
