Common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)

This was a tricky shot - a distant post and dappled sunlight against a dark background - but at least Mrs Kingfisher posed nicely on this post in between feeding trips for her third brood of the season. Rye Meads reserve, Hertfordshire, often a good place to see kingfishers, though they tend to be quite distant for photography. D7100_20929.NEF. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.
