Alcedo atthis
Waiting for its prey. "This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile; it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptions to enable it to see prey under water" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_King...

Thanks Karen and Cari for your comments. I agree with you Cari :-)
I love kingfishers, it looks like their head is too big for the body because of their beak.
love kingfishers... all of them
