BirdsinLatin

To start off this new year, I'd like to show you the picture that made me the happiest this past year... after many many attempts, I finally got a decent capture of a flying #Kingfisher. ( I was very happy though on many other occasions as well 😜

Stay safe tonight, enjoy and have a great & healthy 2023, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

@BirdsinLatin very nice! I hope to one day SEE a kingfisher, never mind capture an image like this :-)
Show threadBirdsinLatinJan 1, 2023
@ninaparmenter we’re just enjoying a great year for this species... There are so many Kingfishers... It’s almost hard not to spot one when near the water. Your time will come... You just have to wait it out, good luck.

@ninaparmenter @BirdsinLatin I saw my first kingfisher this year. It was on the Water of Leith in Edinburgh. I’m yet to see the otters but I live in hope.

@philmids @ninaparmenter in nature… it’s all about patience… (Which I’m bad at😉) hope you’ll spot them any time soon 👍🏻

Show threadHmmmJan 3, 2023
@BirdsinLatin not sure how this works, but this stunning image doesn’t have your name or a little copyright logo on it. It wouldn’t take much for somebody to do a screen dump and get a canvas print made at a supermarket. And on a different note, I would die if I could get an image anywhere near as good as that.
Show threadBirdsinLatinJan 3, 2023
@Hmmm thanks a lot... I don’t do copyright on my hobby images... The quality of these online images is so poor... Any blow-up will look terrible. And I believe that I would be flattered first if they would steal a picture of me.
Anyway, thank you for reminding me.

@BirdsinLatin super shot. One of my big bucket list items too. So hard juggling the fast shutter speed against their love of dimly lit environments.
Show threadBirdsinLatinJan 10, 2023
@tessa_murray I think ours are more hungry, cause we see ‘m fishing all day long.... And the blue really lights up in full sunlight... They’re fast but easy to spot
Show threadLittleBrownBirdJan 11, 2023
@BirdsinLatin Our kingfishers seldom "fish" I more commonly see them with bugs and spiders. Even the ones that hunt along river banks are as likely to catch insects as small fish.
Show threadBirdsinLatinJan 13, 2023
@tessa_murray they do indeed... But normally the feed their young with insects... Maybe they have a nest somewhere?
Show threadAvonLovesBlakeJan 11, 2023
@BirdsinLatin Is it breeding season for them where you are? I wonder if they're trying to feed one or two hungry chicks?
Show threadBirdsinLatinJan 13, 2023
@Lilysea not for another 2-3 months, at this point it’s mid-Winter.. although winter is not a correct word for the season we’re going through rain rain rain and more rain
