    Definetly not a Kingfisher but still a very nice image with wonderful light and detail on the Eagle and a interesting perch.

    Great light and pose! Like the little bit of pink in the head.

    Quite liked the original title . Thought you did it on purpose when I saw the thumbnail. The light and pose is brilliant . The colours on this bird is superb . The bird is majestic .

    Lovely early morning subject Chris. I love the play of light and colour on the wing feathers.

    Sweet light Chris, and you have captured excellent feather detail. Not much left of the fish between his talons.
