I have photographed kingfishers in different parts of the world, thirteen different species if I have counted right - but never our own, brilliant "Common" kingfisher! (It is NOT common!) This week I was suddenly able to take pictures on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Today Solveig was with me and we saw it after barely two minutes of waiting - in sunshine. The kingfisher came out of the nest, rested for a few seconds, made an attempt to catch a fish - hence the water droplets on its chest - and then rested on its favorite spot.
