This is my contribution to the Tuesday Photo Challenge – Back Catalog.
My first thought was to check my last few Throwback Thursday posts. That got me nowhere so I started going through my archives.
I came across my photos of a Common Kingfisher taken in the early 1990s. These gave me an idea for this challenge.
I spent a couple of weeks locating a portable hide on the edge of a pool and setting up a selection of perches for the bird to use. After the time spent setting up and then sitting in the hide while taking the photos I was happy with the shots. But given the quality of digital captures and the quality of modern lenses I would love to reshoot the species at some point in the future.

Such amazing. Olours!
I meant colours
Thank you, it is a colourful species. In certain light the blues can look green.
What a gorgeous bird, so well captured!
Thank you. It’s a popular species for European photographers partly because they’re so colourful.
