New Zealand "Sacred Kingfisher", not sure where Sacred comes from, but there ya go. My favourite bird here and I will post up a few for sure  :)

All the best your way. Danny.

Great-looking Kingfisher species, Danny. I like the moment captured, the crab adds a lot to it.

Apparently this is the only kingfisher to breed in New Zealand, and according to Polynesian legend it has power over the oceans and waves.........  Who knew!  :wink: 

Amazing shot and perfect timing to catch the action mid-toss Danny.  Love it!
