A must see for bird lovers

These are amazing shots of European Kingfisher making a catch underwater, and feeding altricial young in the burrow. Not to be missed.

That is so neat!

Very Nice! Bird's amaze me with what they can get down their throats. :|

Wow, what colors!!! Absolutely perfectly timed photos.

AMAZING!!!

I'm going to tack onto this thread instead of starting a new one. Two amazing things I found on the internet:

Hawk trying to catch a bat in a cloud of bats

A male spatuletail hummingbird doing a dance for a date. This guy has long discs as part of his tail feathers, and he does this bobbing and shaking to make them move about. I think I'd seen a still picture of one, but seeing him move is absolutely stunning.

Thanks so much Evie!!! The pic of the Hawk in the middle of the bats is incredible! And the Spatuletail Hummingbird is just gorgeous!!!
