Although I haven't been posting I had taken quite a few shots of birds over the past few weeks. A White-breasted kingfisher often comes and sits on the wires close to our house. Usually I manage a blurry blue with my camera but the other day I happened to be on the balcony upstairs and as luck would have it the kingfisher landed on the wires. I got enough time to get these shots. It's amazing to see the beak from close quarters despite knowing that kingfishers are meant to be that way....

Stunning bird!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
How beautiful!! You are so lucky, Kanak. We have Kingfishers here but I haven't seen one for a long time and never managed a photo at all. Yours is much bigger than ours, about twice the size I think and the colouring is a little different too.
Very unusual, yet beautiful bird. You were very lucky to get such a great photo opportunity.
Such a gorgeous bird and superb captures! How wonderful to be able to capture photos like this! Thanks for sharing the beauty!

That is some beak on this bird!!! You got really good pictures! I have seen a kingfisher fish, but doubt if it was this particular kind.
