I can't match this beauty from Bob Thompson. I just enjoy it instead ... sharing it is a pleasure.

Ah, the Kingfisher - one of my favourites, but he has so far eluded me on video. There's a couple of them in my local river, but I've never seen anything other than two blue blurs zipping up- or down-stream. Their favourite perch is in a place that is totally inaccessible (alongside an army camp too, for added happiness!).

One of these days I'll get 'em.

Happy New Year to all the UWOL-ers!

Brendan, Thanks for posting the shot. This little fellow was a gem, he just loved posing for the photographers.

Wishing all in the forum a Happy & Successful 2010
