Ringed Kingfisher - Megaceryle torquata

Sorry got the wrong ID, it is an Amazon Kingfisher- Chloroceryle amazona
But as there are comments I´ll keep it for now, but remove labels. I might find some shots of it.

It is a pity I could not get it from the front where you can see the red coloring but the guide said it was the Ringed one. So, I have to trust that.

  1. I love kingfishers. They are so beautiful and so hard to get a good photo of them - or at least the ones around here are! I did get quite a good one this morning - we have both posted kingfishers this week!

  2. I love Kingfishers! That one has such a huge head, I wonder how its body supports the weight of it!

  3. Jättehärlig fågel. Undrar hur det är med tyngdlagen och det stora huvudet, när de flyger?

  5. Vilken läcker varelse! Hugaligen. Namnet Torquata anknöt för min del till Torquemada, den spanske Storinkvisitoren. ....vilket kanske säger en hel del om mig som person? Jaja. Ingvar

I love comments so please write something. I usually responds to everyone on their own blogs. But nowadays I often find it impossible to comment on many blogs or on Google+. Often the word verifications is unreadable. And after three times I give up. Other times the systems seems to think I am a spammer. Lots of bloggers loose comments that way. :( So, if you don´t see me comment on your blog that is the reason.
