These little guys are calmer than the bigger kingfishers, but small enough to make photography a challenge.
very cool!
Thank you, all! Kingfishers have been the bane of my spotting experience - they usually leave before I get my camera ready. The ones in Belize were actually somewhat cooperative!
Nice series.....Another cool kingfisher...thanks for sharing
What a little darling :)
nice spotting !!
