    what fish did it catch? Look like some livebearer. I thought the common kingfisher displays a much bluer plumage (yours is very green)? (http://www.kolkatabirds.com/saldino/scommonking1.jpg).

    I knew a guy in Malaysia who set up a tank in his garden and photographed kingfishers diving in to catch fish!

    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    hi BC,
    my lens is not ideal for birds shots especially one that is so small and so far away and that explains the soft OOF pictures.

    Superb!!!!!

    And who cares what fish it is, it's history! Probably bird droppings by now.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
