Pied Kingfisher

[Kirsten Frost]

I captured this image of a Pied Kingfisher in flight at Rietvlei Nature Reserve, a local wetland close to my home in Cape Town, South Africa. I enjoyed the low-down flight and reflection on the waters surface here.

Really very beautiful and what a bonus to get those superb reflections. Great timing Kristen and a superb image. Is it possible to have a touch more room at the bottom as it is a bit tight. thanks for sharing.
