Thanks. Actually they are not that little. If my memory is correct, they are the world's largest kingfisher. The beak is about 100mm(4in) long.

Nice shots antz - I really dig the colouring on the bird's feathers!

Very late afternoon obviously there Antz. And yes ... largest of the Kingfisher species.

Seen a lot of these fellas lately on my bike rides.

Nice light in this Antz! They do look like our Kingfishers here...I didn't know they were related!
