The same bird posted earlier, with its back to the lens . . . the bottom right corner seems to be a stump / branch (though quite a few of you felt it was possibly some bird - maybe a swift).

5DMII, 100-400, f5.6, 1/250, ISO 1600

regards

Doesnt seem to be a bird. The shape and position is intact inspite of the time lag as it would have taken a few seconds for the KF to turn. Must be a stump. Did you get to see the KF hunt? Thanks for sharing.

Seems it is his favorite perch. Nice colours. Did you get it with a catch? Thanks for sharing.

Now it looks like a branch. One needs to wait a long time for the kingfisher to spot a fish and catch. In safari situations, it is not always possible to wait that long. Thanks for sharing.
