Venus Pool - Kingfisher up close

July onwards is traditionally a good time to see Kingfishers at Venus Pool and by late August, my hard drive is creaking under the strain of images! Not this year though - this was my first 'close encounter' where the bird actaully sat and posed for a while! A shame the evening light was poor and it was constant drizzle!

Was followed by the 'close encounter....








Front or back? Which ever way you look at it, here isn't an unattractive side to the Kingfisher!!






I'm up for more, all I need is another chance in good light.....
