Wicken Fen - Kingfisher

I was delighted to see this Kingfisher on Wicken Lode yesterday morning.   I had seen it 'flash' by about 30 mins earlier, never expecting to see it again!   Thankfully it was perched on the other side of the Lode, opposite a gap in the reeds when I did spy it again!   The first image doesn't display the Kingfisher at its most attractive but I haven't photographed one 'face on' before.   I bet it had seen me long before I noticed it!

Sad about the busy background but as the lower image is probably the best image I have of this bird, it appears here.   The iridescent blue isn't quite the colour I remember seeing, but I haven't tampered with the colour balance in Lightroom either!
