Congratulations Stanislav, your stunning capture is Spotting of the Day!

The kingfisher’s brilliant colors are the result of iridescence (interference between different wavelengths of light reflected from its feathers) creating vivid blues, greens and oranges. Unbelievably, the actual pigment in its feathers is dark brown!
