Finally....

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.

    You should frame it, nice autumnal backdrop.

    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:
