Kingfisher - Der Eisvogel - a photo on Flickriver

© Daniela Hartmann, flickr.com

In Deutschland gibt es nur noch 9.000 Exemplare des Eisvogels. Der bekannteste Eisvogel ist sicherlich der aus der Bierwerbung ;-) Ich habe hier auch noch keinen in freier Wildbahn gesehen. Das Foto habe ich in Sri Lanka aufgenommen. Der kleine Kerl saß entweder alleine oder in Begleitung auf seinem Lieblingsast. Ich habe mich im Gebüsch immer mehr nach vorne gearbeitet, bis ich ihn ziemlich nahe vor der Linse hatte. Es gibt eine ganze Serie von Eisvogel-Fotos, ich glaube, dass es immer dasselbe Vögelchen war. Bei diesem Foto finde ich den langen Schnabel besonders gut in Szene gesetzt.

In Germany are living only 9.000 kingfisher. I have photographed one in Sri Lanka. The bird is sitting on his favourite place. There I saw him several times a day.
The kingfisher is compartively smaller than other birds. Often it adopts a hunched posture. Both sexes have a long beak, blue wings and brown breasts. Kingfisher are eating small fishes.
I have different photos of the kingfisher in several positions, emotions and gestures. I like that one because of the limb, the background and the position of the beak.
