You are welcome Leanne, my pleasure to show the beauties I saw in Borneo :-)
Wow! Such vibrant colours. What a beautiful little bird & such a treat to see. Thank you Marta.
Thanks for the nice comments. We were lucky that this kingfisher stopped for a few seconds in that branch. It is true they are really fast and is difficult to make pics of them :-)
