The malachite kingfisher (Corythornis cristatus)
Spotted this sub adult at Rietvlei Nature reserve, my favorite shot of a malachite yet! Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed taking this photo!
Hope everyone had a good weekend and a good week ahead!
so colourful bird!
Beautiful bird with this stunning plumage. In full screen, your pic just one word Wahoo. Have a good week too...
Gorgeous! I've never managed to get a shot of one of these birds. This is lovely!
Thanks Keith, I was really lucky, I was sitting next to the water and he just came and sat on the branch about 3 meters in front of me for less than 10 seconds and he left again, I really would have loved to get a shot of him taking off again, but I missed it sadly.
