Sacred kingfisher

Sacred kingfisher, Warnersbay 30th September 2016 

I was enjoying a twilight stroll along the cycleway from Cherry Rd, Eleebana to Speers Point on Friday evening with my beautiful wife, when a rapid, flitting silhouette caught my eye.

A gorgeous little Sacred kingfisher was perched in the stand of mature Casuarina trees, right on the edge of the lake.  It was twilight and very difficult to get close, and the bird was darting quickly between trees. I managed to get a couple of quick snaps before moving on.
