Far from a "common" bird akhan... or common shots... you kingfisher is one of the most beautiful birds on the forum... fine shooting.

I do not know how you do it, akhan, but you get some amazing in-flights of these guys. Number 2 is particularly outstanding with the over the shoulder look, there. Well done!
