Kookaburras are beautiful birds
Two there to greet me today... actually, one flew decoy along the path ahead of me. Further proof of my suspicion of a nest being nearby.
I heard this beauty before I saw it this morning. I am almost certain it has a nest in amongst the hanging bark of this tree.
Felt like sharing a WIP shot of a mosaic I'm making for a community project I volunteer at. We're depicting local scenes and icons and I wanted to contribute a kingfisher as I love seeing them on my riverside walks!
This will form part of a larger mosaic that will be assembled at the local train station. We're trying to use broken pottery, left over/donated tiles etc. as much as possible, so the whole thing will have a very rag-tag upcycled look. 💖

Ein neuer Versuch den #Eisvogel zu fotografieren. Auf der #weissenelster von Bornitz nach #profen. Herrlich einsam, schöne Morgenstimmung, aber kein Foto vom #kingfisher. #Kayak #gumotex
Another sneak peak on a tiny crop on a much larger #workinprogress It keeps changing as it tells me what it wants to be. It's coming along. There are now a lot of #birds showing up in this #painting and today I added a #kingfisher
It is very colorful painting as you probably can already tell.
📷 Quatrième et dernier jour de cette escapade dans la #Brenne, et direction un nouvel affut où on est immédiatement accueilli par un martin-pêcheur virevoltant. J’ai à peine le temps de me positionner pour capturer quelques clichés. Il reviendra un peu plus tard mais trop loin pour obtenir des #photos exploitables.

#KingFishers at #ForestFarm #Cardiff this morning.
My FAVOURITE animal for day 3 of #SciArtSeptember (prompt: "favourite").
Three hours spent in Riverside Valley Park, #Exeter, #Devon in the hope of seeing a visiting Night Heron - which I didn't; and other water birds - which I did. Particularly pleased to watch a male Kingfisher fishing and a Little Grebe appearing out of the vegetation. Three hours well spent, I think!

Another visit to Bowling Green Marsh, #Exeter, #Devon over high tide and the mud was full of #Redshank, #Dunlin, #Godwit (mostly Black-tailed but a couple of Bar-tailed for good measure), #Curlew, #Whimbrel #Ruff, #Knot and three Kingfisher. The evening sun made for good light along with a pleasant group of people in the hide.

📷 #Kingfisher (a male I think as I couldn't see any red on the bill).
i might prattle on about how awesome ancient lenses are and complain about how overpriced gear is now, but also, i did just nail a #kingfisher handheld at 800 mm at a 1/8 second shutter speed and ISO 640. sometimes technology is the right answer. #birding #photography
My first Eisvogelfoto 😋
Unscharf, aber Eisvogel!!
Decent effort with a bridge camera #kingfisher #PanasonicLumixFZ2000 #amateurphotography #WildlifePhotography
I would have been very happy with photos of just one belted kingfisher, but I believe this is FOUR: perhaps the whole family that lives in this area. I have seen three of them before, taking it easy together. However, they were not taking it easy today! Hovering, diving, fishing, and (the one pair) engaging in aerobatic LARKS!
A self-taught wildlife photographer has taken a wonderful photo of a kingfisher landing on her head!

A couple birds I saw over the weekend. Kingfisher and a mallard. #birds #bird #wildlife #water #lake #ExploreBC #duck #kingfisher #CanonR5
#Osprey are great birds!
They are very vocal with each other and have one of the more pleasant calls for #birdsofprey. I can sometimes get them to respond to my whistled attempts to "talk to them". 🙂
Other fun facts… They only eat fresh fish which they catch themselves.
They have a special wing structure that allows them to plunge feet first into the water without hurting themselves, and special reversible toes to help them hold wriggling fish.
#BaldEagles (those perennial bullies) frequently shake-down Ospreys in the air to get them to give up the fish they just caught. I've witnessed this more than once!

I saw this kingfisher a number of times today, well hidden in the branches of the gum tree.
Sky had a lovely time trying to engage in play with a Huntaway cross who was Frisbee fixated.
Da ist man einmal ohne große Kamera unterwegs und natürlich gibt es viele tolle Motive #photography #natureisbeautiful #ducks #kingfisher #flowers #Pixelography #macrophotography #birdphotography
More often that not its when I see #kingfisher its a fleeting flash of bright blue and orange darting along the river. Happy for a longer calmer encounter this morning.

Life's got in the way recently but I'm still busy taking photos when I get the chance!
Today I was fortunate enough to see this beautiful kingfisher!

This is the second I've done in this series, but it's clear there's a VAST amount of Kingfisher subspecies with lots of colors, so I'll be coming back to these lovely birds!

Enjoy!
Despite my own misgivings about the quality of the first #Kingfisher pic I posted here (and on other social media platforms), people seemed to like it - so here is another! Taken at the Spinnies Aberogwen #RSPB reserve in #Wales) I'm pretending that the bleached out background is a deliberate effect to highlight the gorgeousness of the fisher king. 😄

Another very beautiful morning walk. A #Kōtare #kingfisher was one of the first birds seen today, my favourite 😍
The highlight of today, at Spinnies Aberogwen Nature Reserve near #Bangor, #Wales. My first sightings of #Kingfishers in absolutely ages, and my first ever photographs of them. Not perfect pics by any stretch of the imagination, due to the light and the distance, but this one is good enough to share I think.

I have only seen a belted #kingfisher on the wing, identifiable by the colors of its blur or the sound it makes in passing. But today I doubled my lifetime number of belted kingfishers seen! And they were good sightings! And I got my first photos of them ever! (The first photo is not impressive save that there are THREE kingfishers in it!)
Kayla the Kingfisher all fancied up for this fine Sunday! 💙

Including Four sculptures - of a #duckling, a heron, a dragonfly and a #kingfisher - made by #JasonHeppenstall from #stainlesssteel cutlery.
And here's my #timelapse of the kingfisher painting for @Laszlo !
This is my very first timelapse and quite a big step for me, because up until now I've been very insecure about my work process, thinking it was "not good enough". I'm done with that kind of nonsensical thinking...
This is a 1 minute timelapse of the 3 hours and 27 minutes I spend painting over a course of three sessions.
So @Laszlo and I decided to collaborate some more, and he gave me a beautiful photograph of a kingfisher to paint. I finished it in three sessions, with a total time of 3.5 hours. I don't know if you can call this #speedpainting, but for me this is really quite speedy. Plus this is a completely finished painting, definitively not a sketch!
Goodmorning toothearts!🪶#kingfisher #bird #birdart #mastoart #drawing #digitalart
This not the actual bird I can hear outside in the park just now, but it is one of these - a Kotare, or Sacred Kingfisher. 5 or 6 short "kek"-like calls one after another.
I'm used to hearing them out there in the Spring rather than the Autumn, but I'll take it as a win anyway!

I saw a gemstone with wings, a Common Kingfisher (Eisvogel, "Ice Bird").
I only ever seem to see them when the lighting is horrible, but I am happy to have seen one again :-)

One of my favorite birds whenever I visit Shelley Lake Park located in Raleigh, North Carolina.
It took me quite a while to learn their pattern and also for them to stay still long enough for a picture! I was very thankful for this one to stay still!

Today during our volunteering at Parkrun my wife spotted what she thought was a Kingfisher and after her description I confirmed it, walked to the spot she saw it and it still was sitting on the branch <3

@haubles Hi Hannah, it seems to be this type of a kingfisher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_kingfisher
I always find them here:

Common kingfisher.
Beautiful little blue-and-orange bird with a long, pointed bill.
Kingfishers fly low and straight like bullets, reaching up to 25 miles per hour.
