I've posted photos of this Belted Kingfisher before but there has always been some problem - either I've been too far away or he has been too high up or the light is from the wrong angle, or.... But here, finally, the sun was at my back and he was perched low down on a nearby branch.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

You should frame it, nice autumnal backdrop.
Perfect photo of a lovely bird! I had no idea they were so colourful.
A very distinguished looking one. I like the orange on the belly.
Great capture of a cool bird!
I like their distinctive call.
Going to attempt to post an audio website for it:
