Catch!
Almost every day a kingfisher visits the pond that's located 20 meters from my front door. Not surprisingly my little camouflaged hide is put up next to it.
It's a very friendly cooperative kingfisher as he invariably first visits the other pond on the other side of the house, and calls loudly so I know he's there. Which gives me just enough time to walk out the door and install myself in the hide. Almost always he'll come within a minute... :-)
Last week he gave a perfect show. Fished no less than 6 tiny little froggies, 2 fish and some little insects out of the water. The shot is quite a crop, as I wanted to keep a little distance so I wouldn't disturb it, but I'm still very happy with it!
