Hard to get this one just perched, much less in flight. Good job.

Of course the Kingfisher is awesome, but I also really love the background, and how it shows the top of the tree canopy merging with the the open sky . . . jus the right amount of blur. This image is so much more interesting than it would be if the background were just monotone.
