I see a Kingfisher from time to time on a waterway near me (Horsey Sewer).  It's such a beautiful little bird.  I've long since given up trying to get a photo of it, and just enjoy seeing it when I do 😎

That's a great capture. I often see a kingfisher on one of my favourite walks, but either never have a camera or it's in flight and I can't quite catch it. I've recently had an update of Lightroom Classic and it's give a new filter which simulates a fast lens, so I ran your picture through it to see what would happen (it's a new toy, so you have to play with it of course  ) and although it doesn't improve on your capture it gives it a slightly different look ie a narrow depth of field. Might be a bit too much in the settings I used, but it's a fun thing to play with. Hope you don't mind

Ta, you have to click on the image to see the soft blur of the background properly, it also makes the foreground a little less 'busy' if you see what I mean. Not figured out how to make it more apparent without softening off the Kingfisher itself.
