Kingfisher in the hand

Visit Mark Fellowes Nature Photography

A very chilly ringing session this morning, with some interesting species in the hand, including lesser redpoll and goldcrest. The highlight was this first winter male kingfisher Alcedo atthis (click any image for larger), which was completely unexpected, and very relaxed in the hand...
