      I have been spending a lot of time, amongst a lot of other photographers at Marievale lately, photographing these magnificent Kingfishers. It's such a privilege photographing at such close proximity to these birds, and I wanted to try share something a little different to what others have posted on ODP recently.

      Marc Leroy, this is a 100% natural dive. I do not agree with the current baiting of these Kingfishers at Marievale! This photograph took me 4 years worth of trying for the perfect shot to achieve!
