nice subject Poms; i love Kingfishers; there used to be one who dwelt in the neem tree next to my grandmom's home, and i used to watch it every morning fascinated by its colours. I love brightly-coloured birds, and i have only had the pleasure of seeing peacocks, Kingfishers and Macaws up close. Like its profile on the last pic; looks like he is posing, hehe *hugs*

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmas and hugs reee booey

Thank you for the electric blue of Kingfisher this morning, Rauf. It communicates to my heart and fills it up.
-
Beautiful Kingfisher Rauf. I'm glad you were able to get a close up shot of him. I know I've said this before and I'll probably say it again...but visiting your blog is a real treat! Thanks Rauf! :)
-
Thank you Ruth, I see it everywhere but I am too slow for it. By the time I take the camera out its gone. Most of the time, I manage to take only one picture, I take a step closer, its gone again.
-
Thank you Kathy. I want to take a picture of its flight, All I have is what you see up there, just a blur.
No luck so far.

Blurry or not they are great pics and they are beautiful birds. Our kingfishers are shy. Not nearly as colorful!
-
Our Kingfishers are very shy too Sandy, they don't pose, smile and slow down in their flight when some one is taking pictures. Painted storks are my favourites. they pose for me and give me all the time to take pictures. Sweet birds, I'll post their pictures again Sandy.

That is nice..and it really resembles the emblem on kingfisher yeah never seen one except in pics :-( I have no idea how u click these birds..having tried few times I knwo this is realll difficult

Rauf, I don't think I've ever seen a Kingfisher in person before, so you are lucky to have even been in one's presence! And I agree w/Sandy, blurry or not, awesome, powerful and striking images! It gives a feeling of escaping or of freedom. I am listening to Enya now-thanks for reminding me of her music. It is very peaceful and calming.
You will get some clear shots of the Kingfisher someday-it will happen!
Wishing you all the best, Rauf!

Thank you freebird, yes I saw your picture, you were lucky to get good light on the bird, lovely picture
-
Kingfishers are very fast Sangita, I never had good light on the bird.
-
They are pretty common here Patty, tropical bird very colourful. Small and swift, very thick and long beak. Doesn't really suit them, rest of the body is so beautiful.
After ' memories of the trees' don't know if Enya has come up with any album.
