Kingfisher still showing well

Our local Kingfisher are still showing well with the male and female both seen together during the day,  I repeated the same photographic procedure as described in my recent blog Kingfisher Behaviour and was pleased to capture the sequence of images below showing the Kingfisher dealing with what starts with a very lively small fish that received a severe whacking against the tree stump and very quickly became lunch,  I was 100 metres away on the opposite side of the pond working by remote shutter firing and could not really appreciate the skills of the kingfisher's dispatch until downloading the images this evening
