Keep out??? Not for these two or for me :))

My new birding spot has some really choice photo opps..... including these two which were in the reeds and kind of in a swampy drainage channel leading from nearby cane fields

Forest kingfisher and Willy Wagtail .... territory dispute over a rustic looking old sign

Ha ha ha ..... a birder see this and thinks ..???? I don't think so wink

I tried to pass but the birds flew  that I was after at the time....  White Necked Heron and a spoonbill, so I didnt bother.

I love the old signboards ... they have real character

I saw the Kingfisher, but he didn't let me get close enough for a decent shot, will be back to hang around at this spot again for sure. :)

Great moment you've captured. That swamp sounds like the place to be

A lovely pair to see.  I see a lot of kingfishers but have never ever been able to get a photo.  Glad to be able to enjoy others here.
