Sorry this post is three days late but had trouble again with my account being false flagged for spam; apparently, if you edit a post two or three times in quick succession the software is set to pick it up as potential spam so be aware that any editing you do, space it out by a minute or two to prevent any problems. I managed to alert the technical team and they were able to reinstate my account quickly.
Anyway, here's a few photos of a 1cy Kingfisher from our local residential parkland. There was also an adult male kingfisher there just over a week ago so good to get chance to spot these fabulous birds on the local ponds.

Beautiful.
I'm not sure if it's me, or otherwise, but kingfishers around here have been very prominent and for those who manage to, very photographic.

Thanks, at least we know now not to edit a post in quick succession as it will trigger the spam alert and suspend your account ! At least I have a contact which I can alert should this happen again. It's a pity the software isn't clever enough to detect long standing regular community members who are unlikely to hack the site !! Good to be back and sorry if I've missed a lot of posts.
Beautiful photos, beautiful birds, thank you Hazel for sharing them with us all. Kingfishers are right up there with my favourite birds to see and to photograph. I remember a time when I was walking alongside the River Ure when I was looking through my binoculars hoping to spot something to photograph when I saw a kingfisher perched on a tree with the sun illuminating its beautiful colours I took aim and got focus and about to press the shutter and it flew off, disappointed you bet I was, It would have made a fabulous photo but I will never forget that bird and all its beauty I can see it now. Maybe lucky to get another chance ?.
Very nice Hazy.
It’s great to hear you were able to get your account reinstated! The Kingfisher photos sound amazing—local sightings like that are always special. Thanks for sharing and for the tip about editing posts; I’ll keep that in mind! I needed help with an essay, and my friend recommended academized.com They were fast, and the essay I received was high-quality and well-written. If you’re struggling with essays or other assignments like I was, this is a great option. It saved me a lot of time and stress, and I was able to submit my essay on time. I’m really happy with the outcome and would definitely use this service again in the future.
Excellent shots Hazy. I don't see many, but when I do it makes my day ... .
