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 super shot. One of my big bucket list items too. So hard juggling the fast shutter speed against their love of dimly lit environments.

@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

@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.

@tessa_murray they do indeed... But normally the feed their young with insects... Maybe they have a nest somewhere?

@BirdsinLatin Is it breeding season for them where you are? I wonder if they're trying to feed one or two hungry chicks?

@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
