Description
This is one of the most stunning of our little birds less than 6 inches.. In Europe it is getting rare amd in the UK this is due to the extraction of too much water from Rivers, and the classic sort of habitat with the sort of earthen banks they need to make nests in. In the past high river lines and floods made these..
Earthen banks on water bodies are of crucial importance to kingfishers, because they nest in excavated holes. Rivers with bare, steep banks are indispensable, where holes can occur only on non-developed banks during floods.

What a darling little bird, excellent shot!
Amazing, what an adorable bird!
La foto veramente spettacolare! Ottimo lavoro.
I'm glad I checked out the full-size version. Excellent composition with beautiful colors and details. I really enjoy your work. Very well done! John
If you got any closer you'd poke it off the stick with the end of your lens. Magnificent! Can't resist "favouritising" this....
Very beautiful DOF Daniel!! I really love the your compo here with all those colours and details :) Thank for the share my friend JOE
What a rare treat, excellent image and superb clarity. Your wonderful collection of bird images is priceless!!!!!! Thanks Danny!!!
Such an excellent image, and a very cute little bird.
Wow!! great capture!!!! Bravo!!!!
What a wonderful photo of an almost extinct colorful bird!
wow, faaaaaaaantastic in every way
Ohhh...the little favourite om mine again. He is so wonderful, as is your capture of him
Fantastic!! One day I think I'm gonna know how you do it....not that I'll be able to, LOL. I just love your wildlife shots, they are always so clean and sharp!
OMG!!! he's so cute and very beautiful!!! I like very much this bird and his aspect... I don't know what you make for to look all your birds post but it's a real pleasure for my eyes. In my association protector animals i see a very nice project for to look the migration birds in south of spain, but I don't have acceptable lens for make a really beautiful and nice shots like you. Sometimes, and you know, I receive very "strange birds" in my area. I say "strange" because since 3 years i see diferent birds and I never see them before, like Codornices Africano (Crex egregia)I don't know the english name. Well, I know, the weather change the migration travel of all the nature animals... EXCELLENT post!!! Good day
Very good composition, colors are amazing, very good background....
Beautiful ... the feathers look so soft
Fantastic, a MASTERPIECE!! We call him "Icebird" (Eisvogel) in Germany, he is so rare...
Crytsal clear close up and excellent DOF. In your display the bird's pose creates the impression of being vulnerable and is very symbolic if read in conjunction with the accompanying text.
What a sweet and beautiful bird...I must love it! Superb, top shot!!!!
Amazing capture!! Excellent!
Chapeau Danny... another jewel.

stunning macro capture and an incredibly beautiful bird
A very pretty little bird. The feather colors are so beautiful. Excellent shot. Sad to think of all the various birds and animals being endangered.
They are beautiful and seem unafraid of having his picture taken. Excellent. Aloha
This is just beautiful - they are very similar to the ones in Australia and i know our kookaburras are related to them too!!
What a tiny wee beauty he is.You captured him wonderfully.For the record,I appreciate how you use your uploads to remind us of,in the words of David Gray,'This Disappearing World'.
Fantastic capture my friend....!!! Beautiful colors and great detail.....!!!
