A Curious Common Kingfisher on the banks of a lake

A common bird around the numerous lakes dotting the countryside. This Kingfisher is an active bird and the current season is good for it - most of the lakes are full and there is ample amount of small fish - we can see them literally jumping out of water.

 

We sighted the rare Black Bellied Tern which was circling around the lake, but then there was thick fog in the morning which prevented us from getting a decent shot. The Kingfisher landed on a nearby perch and waited for some action while grabbed some shots of it. This one seemed like a adult that it was quite taller than most other Common Kingfishers I had seen before. There were two of them - this male and a female which continued hunting at a distance.

 

Thanks in advance for your views, likes and faves. Much appreciated.
