Kingfisher

I've always wanted to see a Kingfisher, the nearest I've seen in the past is an electric blue flash zooming past at high speed, so I was very lucky indeed to see this at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen
It was around for quite sometime fishing, couldn't manage to get a shot of a fish in it's mouth though
