This time on right perch, but without fish. :lol
I really love Kingfishers whre ever they are.
Thank you for looking.

Thisis a neat image. I have no good or close shots of king fishers. Now I have something to inspire me to go and look for them.

Awesome shot!

This species is so much more colourful than our Belted Kingfishers! (And I don't have any decent shots of them, either.)

A beauty Haim, this is a very pretty kingfisher.
Ofer you going to get some shots of this fine bird when you're over there?

Georgeous shot, Haim. Great colour, exposure, bit of interest in the action and good composition. It would be nice if the ends of the perch weren't freshly broken but not much you can do.

Great shot Haim, love the colours. Looks like a most uncomfortable pose in that perch, or is it about the spring into action? I love the bill too.

Did you manage to get the combo of bird+fish+perch in the end??

Nice one Haim. I wish you would have composed with more space on bottom and less on top.

Another vote for bit more room at bottom ...
Excellent shot otherwise, Haim!

This looks like a Common Kingfisher to me!
