A Kingfisher sits on a branch of a flowering Blackthorn. I am very proud of this picture because this is not a pre-made picture, no nice twig has been prepared to make this image. So this is an image that everyone can see in Dutch nature.
At the end of a day of shooting in the Oostvaardersplassen I decided to go to the Lepelaarplassen. After some time in the bird hide I saw a Kingfisher coming flying. At first the bird was far away. When the bird flew away to the other side of the pond, I could no longer see the bird. I walked to the other side of the cabin and scanned the side of the puddle. Suddenly I saw that the kingfisher was sitting nearby at eye level on a twig of a blackthorn in bloom. In short, a perfect picture. I couldn't be happier and took this photo, among other things.
