Now, it's not often that you get involved in the nitty gritty morning ablutions of a bird but our Kingfishers are under such close scrutiny that almost every moment can be captured....
This is one of those occasions when the pictures tell the story.... (imagine the sound of me discreetly coughing into my hand at this point...)
I am truly impressed with the volume, range and potential terminal velocity.....
If that is what a small fish diet does to you I may give it a miss.....
...and then of course a serious wash and brush up is required....
Great shots by Brenda Clayton
and a little bit of Richard Duhrsen video to finish things up nicely....
