Caption:
Couldn't believe my luck, a friend alerted me to the fact they thought they'd seen one near there stream, so with my little tent and all my gear I set up and waited and waited and waited, and then popped into view. I was so taken a back I almost forgot to press the shutter. A little editing gone into it but not loads. Hope you like.

I think that is the best Kingfisher shot I have seen on Fuji, well done.

well done also for quitting smoking, not an easy task, I know.  It's now almost two years since I quit and there are times when I still crave a smoke. 

Well done.

Lovely shot, well worth waiting for.  The council has totally demolished the river banks where our kingfishers nest so I dont think I will manage any more shots of my own which is a great pity, I was really looking forward to winter when its easier to get a clear shot of them.

So long and thanks for all the fish
