Green Kingfisher

Kingfisher

The green kingfisher is a shy bird. I’d spent a while the day before trying to photograph one as it hid in trees, where it was almost impossible to see. I managed to catch this one fanning its wings just as my memory card filled.

Here is a more typical view of this bird. To me it isn’t so hard to see how birds are directly related to dinosaurs.
