Thanks people, I've decided to upload my latest Kingfisher spotting here (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/354...).

Frederic, these are incredibly difficult to shoot, they are easily spooked. You either crawl, have a shelter or get lucky! But good luck.

I went to a river close by here to try to photograph one I spotted few days ago, but I couldn't reach the place I wanted. Maybe next time.
But I was happily surprised to see yours!

I agree, if its a different day its a new spotting regardless of male or female ;-)

Thank you so much everyone! This is rather funny since I was thinking of uploading a new Kingfisher spotting since I managed to take much better photos a few days ago at another location. I will still upload it since that is a female and this one a gorgeous male on the look out for some fish to take to its nestlings!

Yes, this is what we were saying that sometimes one misses these beauties among the spotting crowds :-)
