Kingfisher Alcedo atthis orange red underparts electric blue wings back and head orange feet legs and cheeks white throat and long dagger like bill


This male kingfisher bird was captured on camera on a perch from a hide showing the brightly coloured colored orange red and blue electric blue plumage against a soft background of reeds and rushes. I used a sigma 150-600 lens on a canon 60d digital SLR camera, using the back button focusing technique for single shot and continuous focusing.
