Garden Wildlife UK

On the Scottish Wildlife website is a new pic of a (presumably) commercial photographer's shot of a kingfisher in action. For some reason it won't let me put it on here but it's very good.

I saw a kingie once upon a time for quite a long period. It was down at Castle Combe one summer evening; a tiny river-type flows through the village and a kingie was fishing from the bank.
Lots of folk were watching it and it took no notice.
Brilliant !! You don't forget things like that.

When I saw the topic title I thought we were going to have a first sighting in a members garden Very photogenic are Kingfishers and will supply many opportunities to the patient and the skilled

One of these?

I want to cross off the kingfisher on my photo bucketlist this year if I can. I know a spot in N Wales that I'm planning a trip to on a reserve that is known for them. Fingers crossed!

I went to the Slimbridge reserve a couple of years ago hoping to spot them but blanked.

Good try, Kev, but naaaahh .
But any pic of a kingie is a good pic. Good luck in N. Wales !!

I'm trying again to show the kingie pic .....

Won't work for me. However, if you google 'Shane Hardy Photography', on his Facebook site there are a sequence of the kingfisher pix which are causing me so much trouble !!

Another nice try !!!
(I knew Nuthatch would have a crack at it .)

.. but it is a kingfisher photo by Shane Hardy!

Well yes, you're quite right, Nuthatch.
Thing is, this chappie seems to like kingies a lot and has many pix.
