So hard to get Kingfishers in a shot. They are fast and never let me get near at all.

Here's a Sacred Kingfisher ...

And the good old Kookaburra ... king of the kingfisher family...

That Kookaburra is a cool looking bird!

Never got a Kingfisher yet, been through three pairs of shoes trying!

very nice. #2 is my favourite!

Wow! Great shots. Love number 2. Looks like I can reach out and touch him!

If they are a regular visitors to picnic areas then sometimes you can hand feed them bits of meat.

Gosh, our belted kingfishers are so the opposite of that!
I've never gotten a good shot of one yet because everytime I get even remotely close...off to the other side of the pond/river it goes.
Why 3 pairs of shoes MAW? Same reason?

Kookaburra's are characters. And their laugh is infectious.

I keep forgetting to add this in I got yesterday morning ... heavilly cropped so not great quality ...

Thanks for the comments. I was watching this one dissappear with no comments
