Yet another Kingfisher

Uploaded: July 01, 2008

Description

I know....Once I have started a project like the Kingfishers it is hard to stop..
I have now shot around 4000 images of them I guess and still do not get bored with these little gems.
Hope you are not bored with them yet either...

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel
