Pied Kingfisher really enjoyed lunch

I cannot believe all these stunning pictures! Absolutely fantastic, I enjoy them immensely! All of you are awesome photographers!

Thank you Hilda for kind remarks.
The Pied Kingfisher is a Giant Kingfisher - now I know I am old

Superb sightings Frans..... the Giant is one I still need in my collection

TX Hilda for the comment

Spot the Malachite last weekend but was a little bit far for a close up



Pied

Close enough to enjoy it's beauty Jan van Wyk! Simply beautiful, as is the Pied Kingfisher too!

Today's images silhouettes on a beautiful cold morning

One of the most beautiful places on Earth

Just enjoy the pics, thanks for sharing.

One more of the popular Goliath Heron with an enormous catch

Nicely captured Fransmargate.

Stunning morning and afternoon poses Jan van Wyk!

Do you think the Heron will be able to finish that catch all by himself Fransmargate? Fantastic shot!

Would appreciate any recent comments on Lake Panic sightings as I will be visiting next week . At my last visit , a pair of Goliath Herons , Giant , Pied & Malachite Kingfishers were guaranteed , and I saw many interesting species in the walkway - Bearded Robin , Terrestrial Bulbul GT Woodpecker , Natal Robin and many others .
