Kingfisher Alert Pose

Uploaded: October 18, 2007

Description

Hi Guys,

I have moved my hide a bit closer to the perches I had set up for my local Kingfisher-project and today I went out to test if they would allow me to get a bit closer.
Here's one of the shots I took and really liked because of the weird pose this Kingfisher made when he spotted a large hawk flying by...

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel
