  1. Excellent day at WWT London Wetland Centre yesterday. Local moaned there “wasn’t much about” while I was thrilled by the variety showing well. So what if peewits were the only waders in evidence and while there were many other herons the bittern didn’t show? Familiarity breeds contempt I guess.
    Good views of sandmartins going in and out of their holes, a little egret stirring the water to fish, and photographing a kingfisher, were highlights.
    Being unable to get photos to upload from my computer is annoying, so here’s a photo of my camera showing one of the photos of a kingfisher…

  6. Progress of ~1.5 years of #Kingfisher photo's.

    First on 30 November 2024, 2 months on the new hobby. Next one was in #Bloeidaal 1 year ago, a week later my best so far at #Waterwingebied

    But yesterday beat all of those with a great sharp and detailed shot! Extra details in the alt-text

  11. Managed to photograph a few #kingfishers yesterday at #Bloeidaal, and even got lucky with a sharp in-flight shot!
    These were all taken in pretty dark light, so I'm glad they turned out quite nice.

  16. Un blauet (Alcedo atthis) observa des de la seva talaia. El color fosc de la part inferior del bec ens indica que es tracta d'un mascle.
    Quin plomatge més preciós! 🥰

  21. ¡Menuda centella taladrando la superficie del agua! ¿Te lo perdiste? ¿Demasiado rápido? El #MartínPescador (#AlcedoAtthis) es un ave de la #FaunaIbérica, pequeña pero espectacular, tanto en colorido como en hazañas. Sus acrobacias, picados y zambullidas son la envidia de muchos deportistas acuáticos. Sumérgete en esta página para conocerlo mejor: faunaiberica.org/martin-pescad

  25. A female kingfisher feeding beside the Eglinton Canal in a snowy Galway this morning. There is a pair of kingfishers seen regularly near Raven Terrace (lots of overhanging branches AND fish) #kingfisher #cruidín #alcedoatthis #Galway #sneachta
