Kingfisher on the Afon Gwili...

Bit of a long shot :-)

Nice clear shot of the bird and lovely creamy background. Shame about the twig across the body.

Hope you don't mind but had a little play with the inpainting brush in Affinity. Happy to delete if you want.

Good edit A&B. Mark allows edits (as we all should) so I'm sure it's OK to leave it in the thread.

No problem. the edit looks good. I was so thrilled to catch this little bird. I really did not worry about the twig. The photo must have been 40+ yards, and was probably slightly underexposed...:-)

Lovely image and well photographed. Good lighting and well framed. I like the angle it's different and you've captured the bird concentrating hard on what might well be a quick snack. Good pose too.

What a great mix of colours.Well photographed. I recently took about twenty shots of rainbow lorikeets in Sydney but you will not see them here. Not a decent shot amongst them.

Excellent shot.

Thanks all. Always appreciated CC....:-)

Beautiful colours, well exposed and nicely framed. The background is nice and smooth with attractive colour. Very nice. Those pesky twigs are always getting in the way though.

good capture here, not withstanding a lack of eye contact but the colours suit this shot well. also the twig clone lifted this a lot imho.
could crop closer if you wanted also. well done

Thanks Stephen...:-)
