Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis).
Female.
A female Kingfisher in the early Spring sunshine looking for prey in the small pond below.
With no fish in the pond this Kingfisher has become an expert at catching Dragonfly larva. We saw her catch 8 of these larva during our stay there.
As ever, my thanks to Phil Winter for the invite. Without his expertise and patience these shots would not be possible.
