an European Kingfisher : the blue arrow !

            Photo (100% cropped view) done just before sunset : it was 4h-4h30 PM so +/-30 min before sunset. Anyway even if there was no much light (12800 ISO for this one, and it was not enough because the photo was too dark) I'm happy to have seen this beautyful kingfisher, I think that they wiil soon leave the place now as cold is coming and lake and rivers are frozen. You can zoom in for more details.

ps : Let me explain you why I'm happy with this photo. Three months ago I saw 2 kingfishers, and so I began to watch them and to find their most liked branches , finally this weekend I decided to wait them near to one tree, and just before sunset they came in front of me. So even if it was very dark and even if ISO were very high I'm happy because this photo represents 3 months of work. 

Photo (recadrage à 100%) prise juste avant le coucher du soleil : il était 16h-16h30 donc +/-30 min avant le coucher du soleil. Quoi qu'il en soit, même s'il n'y avait pas de lumière (12800 ISO pour celle ci et ce n'était pas assez car la photo était un peu sombre) , je suis heureux d'avoir vu ce beau martin-pêcheur, je pense qu'ils vont bientôt quitter l'endroit maintenant que le froid arrive et que le lac et les rivières sont gelés. Vous pouvez zoomer pour plus de details.

ps : Laissez-moi vous expliquer pourquoi je suis content de cette photo. Il y a trois mois, j'ai vu 2 martins-pêcheurs, et j'ai donc commencé à les observer et à trouver leurs branches les plus appréciées, enfin ce week-end, j'ai décidé de les attendre près d'un arbre, et juste avant le coucher du soleil, ils sont venus devant moi. Alors même s'il faisait très sombre et même si les ISO étaient très élevés je suis content car cette photo représente 3 mois de travail.
