A Ruddy Kingfisher at Onuma 4 years ago today. They were always a bit far off to capture with a 400mm lens, this heavy crop was the best I could manage. After 3 consecutive summers with this species in Onuma from 2006-8 I haven't seen any since this pair bred...............

  4. This must be quite rare,...never seen one before.In flight,I'll bet it's a lovely sight to see when it shows more than just a tad of blue.

    It's still a good capture!!
