Kingfishers, Alcedinidae

We in the Uk only have the one kingfisher, a smallish plump bird with beautiful vibrant colours. Found on rivers and lakes, often perching and then plunging into the water below. The female has red on the bottom bill, I find best remembered as the one with lipstick

In these mystical conditions I think a bit of space adds to the mood

I found this kingfisher in beautiful light reflected from the lake with a green bank that gave it a natural vignette
