Rufous-backed Kingfisher - Malaysia
D500, 600mm, 1.4x, ISO 800, f/7.1, 1/160s

Just back from Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.  The primary purpose of my trip was cityscapes but I did get out into the jungle in Malaysia one day...  This is a very tiny Kingfisher - the Rufous-backed Kingfisher.

I think this is the first time I've seen E.J. use a 600mm lens :-)

I used to have a Canon one a decade ago :)  Thank you for letting me use yours and putting me on the bird!
