A Beautiful Common Kingfisher

The hot and humid summer has finally gone. We will be seeing more and more birds in Hong Kong from now on as the winter migratory birds from Northern China begin arriving. 

   A couple of days ago,  I went out to a nature park and spotted a Common Kingfisher fishing on a pond. I haven’t  seen any kingfishers the whole summer and I was so pleased to see one at last. 

Usually the kingfishers are very shy and always keep their distance from people, but this one was probably too preoccupied to take any notice of me. I couldn’t believe my luck as I was able to get some close shots of this beautiful bird.
