Common Kingfisher on the river near my apartment. Normally a shy species, for a week or two 4 years ago this individual was surprisingly approachable. It's a shame that most of these trees have been chopped down since.................
This is a common bird across south Hokkaido but I've struggled to get decent shots of it. A big lens and a lot of patience is needed I think, alas I have little of the latter and none of the former..........
OUr kingfisher is also common but very shame! Great image Stu ;)
ReplyDeleteNice contrasty shot Stu. They are difficult to pin down here too as you know.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, yes I got lucky with this one for sure.......
