Excitement of Capturing the Kingfisher

"yes.. finally I got mine... " Same words clicked my mind when I got my first Kingfisher shot.... from along time I wanted to capture Kingfisher but I never got even a single change to sight it... so clicking it was always a different story for me .. :(

I never knew that I was going to be lucky on our way to Sravanbelgola... We three me, Prashant and Abdulla were on our Karnataka Heritage tour (actually It was more of covering the heritage site... from photographers point of view).... I was driving thru some village.. there were lots of trees on the roadside and we just crossed some lake few mins back.... suddenly I saw some bright blue color bird landing on one of the roadside trees.... I told Prashant and Abdulla "Hey.. I spotted a kingfisher.. :)" Instantly I pushed the brakes, pulled the car to road side and rushed towards the Kingfisher.. Luckily it was sitting on same tree.. having its catch.. :D

Man I said.. now I have my own version of Kingfisher... I always love Kingfisher.. its a beautiful.. cute birdie... so colorful ... so bright... I was very satisfied with my fisrt every shot of this White Throated Kingfisher(Halcyon smyrnensis).
