I finally got close enough for a decent image of the Belted Kingfisher.
This is a female.

Nice shot, I shoot these all the time but I have never yet got close enough
to get a shot as good as this. Here, they are most wary birds we have.

This is a really good capture, nice detail and lighting and good bokeh.
