Congratulations Hendri Venter
Pied Kingfisher Exit


Captured from a floating hide on a farm near Kruger National Park. I like the low angle and BG colours. Pity the reflection behind the bird though. Baited.

Very excellent!
Congrats!
The water action is exquisite and the detail on the bird very nice.
Hard to tell perspective here, but it looks as if these kingfishers are much larger than ours in the US.
