    Default Kingfisher Courtship?

    Or maybe these Pied Kingfishers were squabbling over who gets the highest perch? Another from Botswana a few weeks ago.

    Very nice interaction Bill. I see this was quite a popular perch for many species. You did great with nice head angles for both birds.

    As a high key image this is really cool since the black-and-white birds complement the flat light perfectly. It's
    a really nice display of contrast.

    Thank you all. Yes Isaac and Gail, we passed by this perch on several occasions and saw several different species using it.

    I love the interaction Bill, of course would have been better if you had a nice colorful BG but you did well given the circumstances
