a flash of kingfisher across the river disappears in the bushes
for A River of Stones and Weekend Reflections
I took the photo just above one of the weirs along the Water of Leith. We saw the kingfisher further along the river in Stockbridge and it certainly wasn't going to stop for a photo! Always a wonderful bird to see!

I took lots of photos of the historic buildings along the Water of Leith in Dean Village and I'll be posting those in the next few weeks on my Over Forty Shades blog. Currently over there is a photo of a building in Colinton Village, also along the Water of Leith.

Beautiful picture - and I'm envious about the kingfisher - we don't get them here on Islay = I shouldn't grumble though when we have chough and corncrake
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful....
ReplyDeleteI feel guilty as I am falling so far behind in stones but I'm also noticing so much more than I might have without this challenge.....
Have a creative day......

isn't that the way of a bird to fly away so one can't get a photo. that photo is great. i love the reflection. hope all is well. have a great night.
ReplyDeleteSeems like all birder blogs have lots of bird-butt photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflection in the still water. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteSuch a clear reflection, which makes it easy to imagine seeing a colourful Kingfisher flying above it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph - just think of all the wildlife amongst all that ivy on the riverbank.
ReplyDeleteI've only ever seen a kingfisher once.... a blurred turquoise haze travelling at great speed! I could hardly make it out at all. :O)
How wonderful, a kingfisher is something i have never yet been lucky enough to see! Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeletenice reflection, crystal clear!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! I don't know how anyone manages to photograph kingfishers, they're like shooting stars, gone before you find their name x
ReplyDeleteI like the way you framed you picture, with the reflection, but not the building reflected... Nice shot, indeed...
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful reflection, even without the kingfisher :-)
