Wow, a fantastic photo. Despite have seen many Kingfishers the luck to catch more that an electric blue blue has eluded me. Mrs BWW and I were playing pooh sticks on a quaint little humpbacked bridge some years ago and just as we were watching for the result of one race, a Kingfisher flew under at just place we had hoped to see our sticks, had I been expecting a photo finish perhaps........
On another occasion near Lambister, central Wales, we found a beautiful riverside meadow, the banks were undercut, with a strong turf top to sit on, having just opened and position the rucksacks for convenience, I joined Mrs BWW, who had taken up a comfortable position with her feet dangling over the water with about 4 feet from the water. As I was taking position I was looking straight down at hers boots when a Kingfisher flew directly under the soul of her boots.
I am still looking for a place that would reproduce that moment, so I take a photo. I will borrow an image of a Kingfisher to graft into the picture so that we can both share the memory.
