Juvenile Kingfisher
This little male Kingfisher was great to photograph.
Being a juvenile, he hadn't quite mastered fishing yet which made him predictable.
He would always fish from the same perch, and if he caught a fish he would always go to another wider perch to stun it.
Because he didn't always catch a fish, and because of his predictable patterns, we got some great shots of him. You pretty much just had to aim your camera where you knew he was going to be and wait.
