With luck, I'll be back up to full speed in a day or so.
You can (just) see a crab in the beak of the bird in the first image.
You probably know the drill, but click the blue button and off you go.

Wild Bird Wednesday 219 - Collared Kingfisher
Rather far from well here, so here are some Collared Kingfishers, which (surprise, surprise) where taken in Darwin.
With luck, I'll be back up to full speed in a day or so.

ReplyDeleteHello Stewart!:) A great bird to share, not one I know, and very different from the Kingfishers I'm used to seeing with much smaller beaks. Many thank for hosting, and Get well soon.:)
ReplyDeleteA lovely bird Stewart...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images you got!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Firasz
neat fellow with huge bill/beak!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the kingfisher.
I do believe that is the biggest beak! I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Stewart! Sorry that you aren't "up to speed" and hope you get there soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great bird with a very interesting beak. Great shots as always. Hope you feel 100 percent soon Stewart.
ReplyDeleteA great bird to photograph. Thanks for hosting and I hope youj have a good week
ReplyDeleteOh my ... still under the weather. Fluids, rest and if you have a drink like Gatorade, then drink some or any other electrolyte replacements (ask your pharmacist). Sorry, been there done that and it isn't fun. How is the rest of the family? Your Kingfisher is quite different. A very large beak gives him even more of a cartoonish look than other Kingfishers ... but a handsome bird non-the-less and crab for dinner ... how lucky is that? :) Hope you are feeling better soon ...

That beak looks lethal!!! Hope you feel better soon Stewart!
