Lunchtime for an Azure Kingfisher

Photo courtesy of Lyn Hardwood, owner of Riverbed Cottage. If you're looking for a relaxing holiday close to nature, you can't go past this place. Alan and I love it, and if it were closer to home we'd be there every second weekend . All our Gipsy Point photos were taken while staying there.

    How beautiful is that. I keep hoping to catch a kingfisher one day. The best I've done so far is a tiny spec far in the distance through a big lens.

    Kingfishers are hard to capture - what a beautiful bird?

    @Julie: Correct. Kingfishers aren't called kingfishers for nothing. :)

    @Joan Elizabeth @Dianne: I haven't even managed the tiny spec in the distance. (Thanks again to Lyn Harwood for the photo.)

    @Susan: Surrounded by the Croajingolong National Park and the waterways, Gipsy Point is a wildlife paradise. We love it.

    @Cherri: The Azure Kingfisher is a small kingfisher. Lots of info here about them.

    Enjoyed your beautiful bird photos. The alley photos make an interesting contrast.
