Not the best of my images but I only manged a couple of shots of this tiny, elusive little Kingfisher. I wanted to put all three up consecutively so you could compare them.
This is the smallest of our Kingfishers at around 11-13 cm. Not easy birds to see unless you are traveling around rivers and mangroves in the top end of Australia where they perch on overhanging branches and dive for fish and crustaceans.
They have the gorgeous glossy blue feathers.
One issue with photographing along dense rainforest is the lack of light. Most of my images had extremely high ISOs, well over 20,000. I thought some might be beyond rescuing, such as this one but most managed to come up quite well with noise reduction software. A saviour for situations like this!
