Common Kingfisher
Alcedo Atthis
my lousy shots,
pics were heavily crooped.
Don't be afraid of my duck!
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!
sure looks like some livebearing.
colours depends where the light is shining, sometime see green and other blue.
don't ask me why cos me also nono !
Nice shot!...Nice bird.

Your lousy shots are probably my best shots
You guys are really good trying to id the fish in the beak
Choy, what's the fish in the beak
the fish is the ikan longkang lah
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.
Canon 20D with Canon 100-400 lens
the fish is the ikan longkang lah
u forgot the sp.
actually I don't think it look like a livebearer leh.

FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.
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?
