Kingfisher

 

IMG_6927How lucky were we . I had been watching this King of fishers which is my favourite bird for a couple of days flying up and down its territory and every time it passed us it never stopped. But yesterday at 15.00 he landed in a tree just down from us on the other side of the canal ,he then took off and headed straight for us and landed on the bow of Inca . I just managed to get this one photo before he flew off again. Its not a perfect picture but it was such a great experience to get so close to this very secretive and beautiful little bird.
