Nice shot, Rob. Do they have a nest hollow there? I saw a pair of Azure KIngfishers here yesterday. I presume they are nesting along the creek. I might have to up the ante by getting a pic of them.

Good to see them in a natural environment. We only see them in zoos here. Great capture.

My apologies, Ian. As I was typing I thought, gee, we have quite a few Robs in Melbourne.

Yep, when in doubt ... just say Rob!

And to answer your question, yes, their nest is a little higher up in that trunk.

I guess it comes from being 75.

That image is a purely marvelous shot!
Everything works! And those birds have posed together perfectly as if to present a portrait of themselves.
Angky.

I've made far worse mistakes, Jer, and had no good reasons for them! Take care.
