Kingfisher Season 2012

It is no secret that i am a huge Kingfisher fan and it has certainly become one of my specialisms over the years. They are the most colorful bird we have and because of the harsh winters they had to endure over the past 3-4 years they have become quite scarse again too. I was glad to be able to set up another hide at one of their nesting sites this Spring and see that they started nesting succesfully. Allthough i will only return there once the chicks have hatched in order not to disturb their nesting i was able to get some images of them over the past few weeks when i was setting up my hide and all the attributes. Here are some of the images of the Kingfisher pair i am working on at the moment..
