There’s something magical about a Kingfisher, the most common view of these magical birds is a flash of blue and orange as they whizz by.

I’m quite lucky, I live near a nature reserve which has a healthy population and a hide which over looks a pool with some nearby perches. I know a number of photographers who have already travelled quite a distance to see these particular birds and came away with some good shots, but while I was there today I found out that some people were coming from as far away as Norfolk specifically to photograph the Kingfishers, I was amazed, it’s usually me heading in the opposite direction to the bird mecca that is Norfolk.
