It takes luck to have one fly at you like this. It takes a lot of skill to capture it like this.

A difficult shot and one we don’t see often. Excellent detail, and the open bill ices it. Beautifully done, Karl.

Getting one in the frame is difficult most of the time..
Congrats on this, a nice flight pose of this frustratingly hard species to photograph....

Haven't seen a Kingfisher as wide as this ( The wing spread as such). Excellent capture. Absolutely stunning
