翠鳥是不難遇到的鳥,

在台灣只要是生態豐富的池塘或溪流,

幾乎都可見到牠守池待魚的身影,

但只能遠遠的看到那橘紅的點點,

若想稍微接近,牠立刻會像砲彈似的揚長而去。

在關渡拍到這麼清楚的身影,是因為牠正在育雛,

且我們是躲在偽帳中,才留下精彩的畫面。

 

Although the Kingfisher is known throughout the world, each time one reveals its majesty, it amazes the fortunate onlooker. If you dare to venture just a little closer, it will depart in the blink of an eye. On this rare occasion, with the help of a fellow photographer, we were lucky to capture this momentous shot of the kingfisher with its prey clutched in mid-flight.
