Thanks, shalu!

And beautiful kingfisher shot. What a unique looking perch for a kingfisher.

Beautiful composition Shalu
Lovely all round.
The colours, the cactus perch and the bird are all part of an attractive image.

Thank you very much, Melissa and Richard!

You've really made friends with these belted kingfishers, Shalu. I never imagined one would be found perched on cactus plant. This sure is a very nice shot!!

That looks like a very HUGE meal for that bird.... but I suspect that is probably normal for him!

Great shot!!

Thanks Rob
There's plenty to see here, especially if you like walking and wilderness.
