229 Common Kingfisher 普通翠鳥  
Mai Po 米埔  
11/9/2004
10D, EF600 IS, EF1.4II
 
Recorded in a overcast moment and backlighting angle. So I wish that I could make a fill-flash for the shot, but often not able to do so in a hide.

Love the pose captured, Daniel!
Agree with the need for ff here. Some mid-tone adjustments will pop this one however ...
 
A vertical crop would work even better in this case.

Excellent photo.  For id purpose, this is a juvenile (born this year) because its breast still has grey streaks.  It is also a female because it has reddist lower bill.  I can imagine that all the flight feathers are fresh becuase there are only a few months old.
