Common kingFisher (Alcedo atthis) also known as Eurasian Kingfisher or River Kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.

This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile; it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptions to enable it to see prey under water.

Setting
Camera = 5D mk3
Focal length = 840mm (600mm + 1.4x TC)
Shutter = 1/1250 sec
Aperture = f/5.6
ISO = 1600
Subject distant = 14.6m

Great photos! Do I ever wish my king fisher would come back now that I know more about photography. Loved watching him dive for food.
