Beautiful series of a fascinating looking bird Akhan!
I'm sure you had to be on your toes to achieve these and I applaud your efforts in the in-flight images. I think it's a rule that Kingfishers around the world make it as difficult as possible on photographers, but you also got a couple of very nice poses. I really like the final image showing us all what Kingfishers are so good at. Excellent job throughout!
