Halcyon Rises

By johnjo58
A very rare picture of this beautiful female Kingfisher missing the catch. I have been watching her for months and only seen her miss a couple of times.

Thanks for your support on Matts Photo, enjoy this one

Stunning image David.
I know from experience how many "missed" shots it takes to get one as good as this.

She may have omitted to capture the fish but you have captured that failure in exquisite detail.
Wonderfully timed shot, the action totally frozen at 1/2500.
