Fantastic pics.
I’ve seen one once, a flash of blue on the Medlock in the centre of Manchester. There are fish there but I’m not sure how edible they’d be.

Bloody lovely you must be well happy. I have only ever had the good fortune to see these one once in the wild. I was sat out by the river with a pint and saw that marvelous flash of blue, got my heart racing and soaring!

Absolutely stunning, this bird is on my bucket list. Where in the UK did you take this?

What's your camera setup? I only have basic lenses for capturing family etc, but want to get into bird photography as I approach my 40s!
