Every shot is a winner Denis!
#2 is my fave, sharp, good colour and an interesting pose on a nice background.

Incredible fantastic shots!
You must have incredible patience and timing, the kingfishers here at Marie Curtis are scared off real easily which makes it hard to get a 'great" photo of them.

thanks everyone for the nice comments.
these are just a few of the ones i,ve managed to get,and yes it requires lots of patience.
i can sit in a spot,quietly for hours,waiting for a photo-oppertunity.they usually use the same perches,so once in position,you sit back and enjoy the show mother nature puts on.
