Horn Island Kingfisher

This kingfisher was
enjoying a morning swim
and then drying off
by flapping his wings.
This is another shot from Horn Island.

Sweet shot!
I feel like I am the only one NOT shooting birds!

Dear Hal,
Thanks for having a second look.
Always interesting to get your point of view.

Thanks so much, Sally.
Hope you are well.
If you look at this in original size, you will see
Droplets of water as he flicks his wings.

This is a WOW from me Elaine. A perfect action shot with so much detail. Well done.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Hal.
If you look at it in original, you will see the drops of
water spraying off him as he flaps his wings.

This is a superb close-up action shot, Elaine.
Never seen such a close detailed shot of one.

Thanks, Terry, I was lucky to be sitting on the veranda of our cabin when
It flew down to have a quick dip.

Wonderful bird, Elaine. Kingfishers are among my favorites. Good action.
