Taken at Gold Harbour, South Georgia on our cruise to the Falklands Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica in 2019. I can't help but think how fortunate I was to visit this area before Covid-19 halted all travel.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

One very tough bird to get in the open, but if you wait long enough, it does pop out very briefly.

So, do we call a female King Parrot a Queen? I think we should. This beauty was lurking in the depths of my old computer which I managed to wake this morning from what has been a year long sleep. Had all sorts of dramas with it, but it seemed to wake up fine and I was able to salvage a thousand or so old images from it.
Taken near Apollo Bay in Victoria where they regularly visited the local houses and gardens. So wonderful to get close!

caught on the wing, then perched in order to flip and swallow it head first.
With its top-heavy physique, energetic flight, and piercing rattle, the Belted Kingfisher seems to have an air of self-importance as it patrols up and down rivers and shorelines. It nests in burrows along earthen banks and feeds almost entirely on aquatic prey, diving to catch fish and crayfish with its heavy, straight bill. These ragged-crested birds are a powdery blue-gray; males have one blue band across the white breast, while females have a blue and a chestnut band.
In South Florida they call the belted kingfisher the "Don King" of birds because of its distinctive, permanent bad-feather-day look that makes it easy to identify even at a distance.
I found this female along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.
I "Broke Out" the old SX50 for a few shots!
