I photographed this sequence last week at Carnarvon gorge National Park Qld, patience and a lucky break. Words are not really necessary, but standing in the creek with camera the bird flew to within 1.5 meters, an experience of a lifetime. This bird hovers with a whirr of wings just like the hummingbird of the Americas, prior to dropping vertically when fishing
Fabulous! We saw an azure kingfisher at Carnarvon too, a few years ago. I wonder if it is the same, or related to the one in your great photos?
