A series of photographs showing how well a Belted Kingfisher can hover in place. They do this when hunting for fish. Notice the trees in the background which show just how motionless the bird was (other than the wing beats of course).

Evolutionary adaptation is almost miraculous.
ReplyDeleteI agree Anvilcloud!
DeleteGood pictures. I've only ever caught a quick glimpse of a kingfisher here a few times, and not even seen one perched let alone hovering. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Flighty. I was really amazed by this bird. I hope you get to see one again soon.
