Description

Many thanks for your C&Cs yesterday. I went and found the lake where there was a KF and set up and waited. It landed only once for a short while so got a few shots. The background is how it was as the reeds made it this clear. Will go back another day to try for some more.

Two excellent phots of Kingfisher, hard to choose but V2 has a slight edge for me as its head is turned slightly to camera.
